Freelance Artist, Creative Kids Charity

Our vision is a society that invests in its children's creativity; where all children are given free access to the arts so they can realise their creative potential and are inspired to build for themselves a vibrant, diverse and connected community. We aim to inspire young imaginations, nurture self-belief and create unforgettable experiences that children can draw upon as they grow into young adults.

We aspire to exceptionally high standards of performance, promoting equality, celebrating diversity and teaching with passion. Creative Kids based in Boscombe, believes the arts are a powerful instrument for social change and when projects use the arts to engage, inspire and nurture the creative potential of children, creative communities are born and flourish.

We are looking for freelance artists specialising in any art form from traditional arts to performance , photography and music. As a freelance artist working with us at Creative Kids you will need your own Public Liability Insurance as well as ideally an enhanced DBS check as you will be working with children aged 6-14 years old.

At Creative Kids we run holiday arts clubs for all 12 weeks of the school holidays. During our opening hours 8am-6pm we offer 2 arts workshops per day which are 2 hours long each. We aim to offer our children a range of experiences and arts enrichment that they may not have the opportunity to experience at home or school.

During these workshops as a freelance artist we would be expecting you to create a lesson plan so we have an idea of structure , deliver the workshop engaging with the children and sharing your own practice. Inspiring them to create their own artworks.

Please email Poppy at [email protected] with the header 'Arts Jobs Interest' with your portfolio and a bit about yourself. As we are a charity we are able to offer artists £25 per hour for the delivery of a workshop however fees can be discussed. We are looking forward to connecting with you.
