Emerge Call for Artists
Deadline: Mon 3 Apr 2017
The Mighty Creatives (TMC) working in partnership with Arts Connect and UK Young Artists are offering a unique opportunity to artists aged 18 - 30

‘Emerge’ is a regional programme of one-day festivals led by young people in the heart of local communities. The festivals are directed by a commissioned young artist (you), in partnership with schools and community organisations. Over the next two years Emerge will deliver 24 children and young people-led arts festivals in 12 Midlands locations. These festivals will celebrate the life and work of William Shakespeare, with an emphasis on language and storytelling using a range of different disciplines from performance to visual art.

The Emerge festivals happen simultaneously across the midlands over one day. The festivals are planned, programmed and promoted by young people, led by artists selected through an open call. This is the second year of the Emerge project (2017/18), and the festivals will take place in these geographic areas:

East Midlands - Ashfield, Boston, Corby, East Lindsey (Horncastle), Mansfield and South Holland.

West Midlands - Cannock Chase, Dudley, Sandwell, Tamworth, Walsall and Wolverhampton.

To be eligible for this opportunity you must be aged 18 - 30 on the closing date for applications: Monday 3 April 2017 and you must have the legal right to work in the UK. If you are applying as a company at least 75% of your company members must satisfy our age requirement (18 – 30), and all members of the company working on the project must be able to work legally in the UK.

The artist fee will be £13,000 inc Vat and will be over approximately 87 days. In addition to this fee, funds will be available for delivery of the work - for materials, technical support etc.
