This is an exciting opportunity for creatives to work with local communities and develop an artistic intervention. This could take any art form including but not limited to: visual arts, digital, dance, music, theatre, writing etc. Applications are welcome from individuals or collectives. We would expect the work to respond to Moorland as a place and could explore (but not limited to): community voice; identity of the place and people; heritage of the area; local stories; imagining the future; and happiness and light in winter months. Work should be artist-led with community collaboration central to the project. The proposed intervention can be related to existing or ongoing projects, but should be tailored and bespoke to the locality. There should be an outcome that can be documented and shared. The budget for the project is up to £2500, with a budget breakdown to be submitted with the application submission. This should include all costs for artist fees, materials and equipment (but marketing and venues do not need factoring in as covered by other resource/funding/in kind). The number of days working on the project will vary according to the creative/s daily rate and may depend whether the applicant is an individual or collective. Rooted Arts can provide mentoring and coaching to the selected creative, as well as other support around writing funding applications and general signposting. We want this to be a great development opportunity for those involved. The project will be documented and shared through Rooted Arts social media and website. Marketing costs are additional to the budget provided and in house design will be created for engagement activities. Rooted Arts will be responsible for the monitoring and evaluation of the project, but will require some reflection, input and reporting from the creatives. Deadline for proposals is 22nd November 2024.
