PATRICK ALLAN FRASER FOUNDATION, HOSPITALFIELD Overlooking the North Sea, Hospitalfield House surrounded by its own small estate, is situated a mile from Arbroath on the east coast of Scotland. Originally built during the thirteenth century as a hospital, the building was dramatically altered between 1850 and 1890 by Patrick Allan Fraser, who bequeathed it to the Patrick Allan Fraser Trust devoted to 'Education in the Arts'. Today Hospitalfield is a place of study for students of the arts from all over the world. Some of the institutions who have used facilities at Hospitalfield in recent years include, Edinburgh College of Art; Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia; Moorehead State University, Minnesota; University of Oregon; Central Michigan University; School of the Art Institute of Chicago; Scottish Enterprise, and the European Commission. Previous ROSL residencies at Hospitalfield include artists from Canada, New Zealand and Singapore. Further information www.hospitalfield.org.uk.

ROSL ANNUAL EXHIBITION
Since 1984 the ROSL Annual Open Exhibition has provided an international showcase for young artists from Commonwealth and former Commonwealth countries to exhibit in the UK for the first time.

From 2000 onwards the ROSL Annual Exhibition will concentrate on five artists from five different Commonwealth countries (or former Commonwealth countries), one each of the five continents: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. Countries and regions will change each year.
