In partnership with Standpoint Futures (London), Castlefield Gallery is pleased to welcome the 2018 Standpoint Futures residency artists; Beth Emily Richards and Darren Nixon to discuss their practice and their recent residencies at Chisenhale Studios, London.

Fiona MacDonald (Director, Standpoint Futures) will also take part in an audience Q&A that will look in particular at the benefits of the targeted networking and individually focused exchanges with selected artists and curators provided by the programme. This will also be an opportunity for attendees to input their thoughts on how the Standpoint Futures programme might best serve artists in the coming years.

Standpoint Futures visual art development residencies are for emerging/mid-career artists, based outside Greater London. They are designed to be flexible and responsive to the project, needs and desired outcomes of individual participants. The residency’s chief aims are to provide high quality, individualised opportunities to develop the artist’s practice and career, and to promote the exchange of ideas between London and the wider UK art world.
