Leicester Art Week 2021
Artist-led Walking Tours: Call for Proposals
Leicester Visual Art network (LVA) are seeking proposals from East Midlands-based artists to devise and deliver artist-led walking tours between arts venues in Leicester during Leicester Art Week. In 2021, Leicester Art Week will take place 12 – 21 November.
The 3 commissioned artists will work closely with the LVA team, including staff from Attenborough Arts Centre, and will be supported throughout the development and delivery of the activity. LVA are especially keen to hear from artists who use walking in their practice, or who have a particular interest in live art, socially engaged practice or participatory projects.
Deadline: 11:59pm on 6 August 2021.
Creative Facilitator: Where we are… project
Attenborough Arts Centre, Pedestrian and the British Museum are seeking a Lead Creative Facilitator for the Where we are… Leicester partnership, who will collaborate with young people in co-creating responses to the ‘World is a Work in Progress’ exhibition at AAC this autumn.
Where we are… is a new programme from the BM, funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. From 2021-2025 the programme will work with third sector and cultural partners across the country to develop meaningful arts and cultural projects with young people.
For more information about the programme, visit the BM website: https://www.britishmuseum.org/learn/young-people/where-we-are-programme
The Leicester project will run September – December 2021 and will invite young people to creatively respond, collaborate and coproduce content inspired by the exhibition and themes of social action. The project will amplify under-represented voices in the arts, and in Leicester, and provide young people with skills and experiences of working in the arts.
This is an LGBTQIA+ friendly project and many of the young people participating will identify with and celebrate queer culture, and represent the intersectionality of Leicester.
Role description
We are looking for a skilled creative / cultural facilitator who is experienced in engaging and empowering young people to take the lead and to co-create meaningful interventions and dialogue around the arts and social justice. We will work with 10 young people aged 18-24 from across Leicester.
The facilitator will work with young people to explore what they are interested in and how they want to express themselves. We are looking for a Constant Friendly Face – a creative, engaging facilitator that is highly skilled in facilitating creative discussions, drawing out the skills and passions of participants and amplifying diverse voices – especially those who may never have engaged with the arts/culture before.
