Description
*Artist Commission*
Mitchell Arts Centre, on behalf of the Miner’s Strike Programming Group
are looking to commission a new artist-led work which responds to the
themes in the archival materials relating to the Stoke-on-Trent miners
strikes.
The group are happy to consider artists working across a range of
medias. However the artist should be aware that the main gallery spaces
are non-traditional and therefore work which is wall based (max 4 metres
x 3 metres) or that covers a total floor space less than 9 sqm2. There
is access to multiple power supplies for digital display.
The completed work will be on display at Mitchell Arts Centre in the
first floor or second floor atrium from the 28 February - 30 April 2015.
*Timescale & Budget*
We have a combined launch event planned for the 28 February, and we wish
for the work to be installed at Mitchell Arts Centre by this date.
Upon selection the artists would be able to visit the archives and meet
with key persons involved in the project.
There is a workshop space available at Mitchell Arts Centre from mid
January to mid February which can be available for the development of work.
A fee of £750 is available for the work, including all materials, travel
costs and expenses.
A small additional budget is available to support installation and
marketing costs.
The artist retains the copyright and ownership of the artwork and its
concept. If archival materials are used, permission should be agreed
with the owner, which we may be able to support with.
Submissions should be no longer than 2 pages of A4 and should include an
artists statement, outline of your proposal and how it would respond to
the objectives set out by the group, plus examples of your previous work.
All submissions should be made via email to [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> by *Fri 9th January* at 5pm.
