Rame Projects is an artist-led project space on the Rame Peninsula in South-East Cornwall. Thanks to support from The Box, Plymouth; Arts Council England; Cultivator; FEAST; and Plymouth College of Art, we are able to offer a month-long to six week residency opportunity to a Cornwall based emerging artist. 

Rame Projects aims to: provide opportunities for local communities to engage with contemporary art, in both its making and exhibition; engage local students and young people with contemporary art practices that are new to them; and support and platform emerging artists. 

What we can offer:

• A month to six week long studio residency, with overhead costs for the space covered. The space is located on a Cornish cliff top, a short walk to beaches and local villages. It is 12m x 6m size, and suitable for work at most scales. There is basic AV equipment available in the space, 20 chairs, and a small kitchenette including a good coffee machine and a small office workspace and library. The studio is on the Maker Heights site, where there is an amazing cafe, The Canteen, and an inexpensive campsite; making residential workshops a possibility.
• An artist fee of £600. 
• A production budget of £250 towards materials and related costs agreed with Rame Projects.
• Fees to run two engagement workshops, each workshop fee is £175 plus up to £75 production budget.
• Support for a public-facing event e.g. exhibition of work in progress artworks, film screening, discussion group etc. 
• Curatorial and critical support from Rame Projects team and local arts professionals.
• Support in managing health and safety aspects of the residency and workshops in line with up to date government guidelines about Covid-19.
• Whilst working in the rural environment is inspiring and creates a concentrated space for a residency, there are a couple of potential limitations. The WiFi is patchy and often requires tethering from your mobile data package. There are transport links if you don’t have a car, as there are several buses that step at/ or a close walk to Maker Heights, or you can get the passenger ferry from Plymouth to Mount Edgcumbe and walk up to the studio which is approximately a 40 min lovely walk through the countryside. There is no additional budget to support transportation costs unfortunately.
