| The
first residency period will be from 2004
to the end of 2006 and features three different sectors
of art: music, cooking and illustration. We will not have poets
in residence as we elect a poet each year to be the People's Poet
for that year and we also elect a local poet each year at the
Poole Word and Book Festival to be the poet in residence for that
festival.
The
posts will enable both parties to gain from each other's contribution
equally. The People's Poet will work alongside all three artistes
and encourage them to participate in current projects as well
as creating new projects especially for them. In turn, the residents
will gain status and support from their residency here and an
extra post to add to their CV as well as, hopefully, inspiration
from the projects and the community as a whole. Any resident
without their own Website will have one built here for them
as one of the benefits.
Please
click on any one of the names below to find out more about past,
current and future projects with our residents. Each resident
has a page on this Website, which links to their own Website.

As
the residency period draws to a close, I will be welcoming on
board three new residents from different sectors of the artistic
spectrup to take on a three year residency from 2007
to 2009. The residencies are for three years to allow
plenty of time for us all to benefit fully from each other's
work and to allow time for completion of any complicated projects.
