Contemporary art residency programme and exhibition with Burghley House for 2013

An exciting new contemporary art exhibition ‘Fresh Take’ will be held later this year at Burghley House in Stamford featuring with 6 local artists. The artists, working in variety of media, will undertake a residency with Burghley House, responding to an element of the house interior and its history, juxtaposing the traditions of Burghley with current contexts, creating a fresh cultural dialogue between past and present.

Following an open call, 6 local artists working in a diverse range of media, were selected by the panel to participate in the project. For more details click here…click here…

The new artworks will eschew traditional approaches, and look to be innovative in medium and concept, providing a sympathetic but challenging complement to Burghley House’s exceptional collection of historic paintings and artworks. The new artworks will be exhibited in Burghley’s Staterooms from September to November 2013. A series of events for the public, such as artists’ talks and workshops, will be held during the exhibition as well as educational visits.
