Each year on National Poetry Day, Literature Wales has challenged four poets to compose 100 original poems within 24 hours. This year, we are delighted to be working with Y Stamp to offer something a little bit different.
In the capable hands of Y Stamp’s team, HER 24 x 24 will bring together 24 artists for 24 hours.
On National Poetry Day, taking place on Thursday 1 October 2020, 24 artists will spend 24 hours creating 24 pieces of work on various forms. The artists will form a creative chain, starting at 12.00 noon on 1 October and finishing at 12.00 noon on 2 October.
Each artist will have an hour’s slot to respond to the previous artist’s work in any creative form, sharing the finished work on Y Stamp’s website.
Y Stamp have launched a call-out looking for artists to join the creative team taking on the challenge of filling the day with art and creativity. As well as poets and writers, they are asking visual artists, dancers, and any other creative individuals to express their interest.
The theme for this year’s National Poetry Day is Visions, and some aspects of this theme will feature through the creative work.
This is a paid opportunity, and each artist will receive a fee.
