Opportunity
Open Call to Artists with Non - Art Jobs
We are looking for 6 contemporary visual artists
from within the UK/Eire to develop project proposals for Nine Trades of Dundee. The criteria
is as follows: The artist must be a practicing contemporary artist.
The artist must currently also work in another non- arts related trade
or industry to economically sustain their practice.
Nine Trades of Dundee is a project aiming to bring
trade and art together. In total we will commission
9 contemporary artists with second non- arts trades
to lead collaborative art projects with workers employed
in that particular trade, to take place in the city
of Dundee, Scotland in 2009/2010.
Three artists have already finished the proposal development
period and we are now looking for 6 more projects
to develop (these would happen between December 2009
and July 2010).
To apply please register a note of interest
on the form provided. A panel will then select 6 artists to develop
their proposal further with a £500 development fee and curatorial
assistance.
