Museum Residencies

Great day today. Four years ago, when I first set up CAS, one of my main objectives was to establish a good working relationship with the Iron age Museum next door to us. The intention being to create and artists residency within the museum: someone who over a prolonged period of time could delve into, not only the museums collection, but also the remaining 98% of it at the main council storage in Chilcomb House. Plans got mothballed for a few years due to the expansion of the CAS project.

Today, however, after a sit down with the regional museums manger, the Andover museum curator and several others, we now have the go-ahead to begin things. Not just one, but TWO artists residencies per year at Andover Museum. Time to get the ACE application forms out, and get writing.
