Now in its 9th year the Borders Book Festival  <http://www.bordersbookfestival.org/> “where words come alive” is without doubt one of the cultural highlights of the region.   The Festival takes place in Harmony Gardens <http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/Harmony-Garden/> , a National Trust Property in Melrose in the Scottish Borders. 

Annually the event sees the transformation of Harmony Gardens from a tranquil oasis into a buzzing four day event featuring some of today’s most entertaining writers and personalities. This year’s festival dates are Thursday 14th – Sunday 17th June.

This year, CABN (Creative Arts Business Network) invites proposals from visual artists of all disciplines for an exciting new artists’ residency opportunity at the Book Festival.  This is part of a series of ‘pathfinder’ residencies which develop new partnerships and offer opportunities for artists to work in different contexts.   For more information on how to apply for this Residency visit http://cabn.info/opportunities/visual-artist-residency-borders-book-festival.html
