> About
> Established in 1995, Braziers International Artists Workshop (BIAW)
> is recognised as a unique and highly valued opportunity for artists
> wishing to examine their practice in critically engaged and global
> contexts.Though Braziers provides a highly successful artistic
> model for creative enquiry, the success of the workshop has
> sometimes lead to artists creating extensions of their existing
> practice and the focus has often moved away from artistic risk-
> taking. Braziers 2008 seeks to redress these imbalances by inviting
> artists to work collaboratively, to move away from their practice
> in terms of materials and style and to show a genuine willingness
> to place themselves and their practice into question; truly
> exploring areas of artistic and cultural uncertainty and seeking
> creative solutions through the collaboration, exchange and cultural/
> artistic dialogue that is the hallmark of the Workshop. Braziers
> 2008 will ask for a high level of commitment from its members and
> it is recommended that potential applicants think carefully about
> their own expectations and willingness to take risks before they
> apply for this workshop experience. The structure of the workshop
> will be determined by the selection panel’s choice of applicants.
>
> Location
> The workshop takes place at Braziers Park, a residential college in
> Oxfordshire on the edge of the Chiltern Hills. The 17th Century
> mansion house is set in 50 acres of park and farmland dotted with
> numerous outbuildings and barns. Meals, accommodation and work
> space are provided along with technical support and facilities at
> no cost to the artist. Artists are responsible for all other
> expenses, including the costs of travel and materials and are
> encouraged to seek financial help for their travel through national
> or regional funding organisations, charitable trusts, British
> Council etc. Artists are resident for the duration of the workshop
> and can choose to camp or stay in a shared room in the house. A
> series of artists, performers, writers and critics are invited to
> attend throughout the workshop to encourage critical debate and
> dialogue. Whilst the emphasis is placed firmly upon work in
> progress, the final Sunday (17th August) will be open to the public
> to visit the site and meet the artists.
>
> The Workshop receives funding from Arts Council England and a
> variety of public and private funders, trusts and foundations.

> The workshop is open to professional artists from all countries,
> who have been out of college for at least 2 years. Applications

> CriteriaThere is a rigorous selection process with an open
