The Centre for Contemporary Art Derry~Londonderry (CCA) is hosting a series of three digital residencies this year; two applicants will be selected through this open call to follow our inaugural digital residency from Alberta Whittle in May 2021. The residency will last for one week, with each participant receiving an artist fee of £500.
We are open to applications from artists as well as collectives or collaborations. The content of the residency does not have to fit into one category or medium; we are interested in hearing about proposals for live online events, performances, digital installations, film, resource sharing and more. We are looking to select one NI-based and one international artist/collective.
The residency will be coordinated by CCA’s Marketing Assistant Fiona Allan and she will provide an open line of communication between her and the artist when curating the digital content for the website.
If you are interested in applying for this opportunity, please send:
- 250 word proposal
- 100 word description of your practice and experience of working online
- maximum of five images of your work
- links to your website and online platforms
to Fiona Allan on fiona@cca-derry-londonderry.org with the subject of the email reading ‘DIGITAL RESIDENCY APPLICATION’. The deadline is Saturday 1 May 2021 at midnight.

Call for Volunteers (Ad Hoc)
CCA is looking for Ad Hoc Volunteers to get involved with various areas of CCA’s work including exhibition installation and research. Ad Hoc Volunteers are sometimes a one-off extra pair of hands for an event, or a few days or weeks, depending on the needs of the project and the circumstances of the volunteer. While this is an opportunity for Ad Hoc Volunteers, CCA will soon be recruiting for our 8-week volunteer programme in 2019. Keep an eye on our website for information on how to apply in the coming months, if you are interested in getting involved longer-term.
As a volunteer you will receive instruction and guidance from CCA staff and will be trained to museum standards in whatever the task requires. We are looking for keen individuals with a passion for contemporary art and willingness to get involved; a desire to learn; professionalism; approachability and a positive attitude; a polite and patient demeanour; and good communication skills with a broad range of people from the general public to arts specialists.
To become an Ad Hoc Volunteer please complete this form and return it with your current CV and equal opportunities monitoring form either by post to:
