Call for Artists

Community Arts Partnership (CAP) is calling for artists from a variety of artistic backgrounds to facilitate our community arts workshop programme across Northern Ireland.

We are looking for creative, dynamic and innovative practitioners with an approachable attitude, a passion for community arts, and experience of working on arts projects in community and school settings.

Artists are invited to submit a CV (word or pdf format), up to three images of recent work (jpeg), and complete a short application form: Facilitator form with details of their expertise, experience and availability. Applications should be submitted no later than 5pm Tuesday 2 July to Peggy Fisher via email [email protected] or in the post to Community Arts Partnership, 3-5 Commercial Court, Belfast BT1 2NB.

CAP has been delivering very successful community arts workshop programmes for over 10 years. With this year’s programme, we wish to renew our commitment to championing community arts and promote access to and participation in the arts to all sections of society.

Between July 2013 and March 2014 we will be offering poetry workshops to schools and writers’ groups. We will also deliver a wide range of participant-led projects to community groups, including film, photography, animation, fashion, sculpture, textile art, carnival arts, crafts, dance, drama, music, and mural making.

Community Arts Partnership is currently supporting and promoting interculturalism in the arts (through our InterCultural Arts Support Programme and within the framework of  the Arts Council of Northern Ireland’s Intercultural Strategy). We are keen to hear from artists from or working with ethnic minorities who are interested in facilitating intercultural creative projects engaging diverse communities.

For more information about our programme and to download applications forms, visit  www.comartspartner.org.

Artists who have previously sent us details are invited to reapply as we require consent to publish contact details on a new online artist database which will be accessible to registered organisations looking for arts practitioners.

We look forward to hearing from you!

The deadline for this application is 5:00pm on Tuesday July 2nd, 2013
