OPPORTUNITIES
OPEN CALL
Cultural Corner Community Mosaic
DEADLINE 5pm Friday 1st November 2024
1 x £1000 commission
Fegg Hayes Futures and B arts want to commission an artist to work with community members in Fegg Hayes in Stoke-On-Trent to create a mosaic artwork celebrating the culture and community of the neighbourhood. The mosaic will be installed as a back board for a community planter which will be positioned outside our centre (The Hub@ST6, Stoke-On-Trent, ST6 6QR). The mosaic will be part of a wider art trail currently being designed around this ‘corner’ of the neighbourhood, featuring decorative planters and street art.
New Producers is an expenses paid programme where people 18+ can come and learn about how to put on gigs.*
*by Gigs we mean anything and everything - lantern parades, exhibitions, art interventions, theatre shows, … this is a non exhaustive list.
Each cohort runs for roughly 6 weeks, and there are very limited spaces.
So if you are interested in having a go at learning what goes into putting on a gig get in touch with Shiv at. Siobhan.mcaleer@b-arts.org.uk
