Apply for the chance to collaborate on an exciting new project exploring performance as social action.

 

Local charity Creative Youth Network are on the lookout for three young emerging artists for their latest commission, an opportunity to work alongside disadvantaged young people and co-create a piece centred around social change.

 

Successful applicants will work with local youth clubs throughout February and April to produce a piece of public or performance art, set to be showcased at CYN's first major show of 2021.

 

Applications must be submitted by Friday 22 January, with interviews set to commence from Monday 1 February - find out more and apply here.

 

 

Launched in Bristol in 2011, Creative Youth Network are a charity dedicated to enabling young people to each their own potential, no matter their background or personal circumstances.

 

Proud champions of creativity and expression, the team are currently offering a great opportunity for artists to work directly alongside young people on a meaningful, engaging project as part of their first major commission of 2021.

 

You'll be working with two youth clubs in one of three areas across Bristol to build on and interpret conversations around social action and positive social change, ultimately working towards the completion of a final piece.

 

As well as taking the lead on the piece itself, you'll also be responsible for offering guidance and insight to the people you work with, enabling them to get informed, gain new skillsets and expand their opportunities as a result of the project.

 

Artists from under-represented and marginalised groups, as well as those from low socio-economic backgrounds are encouraged to apply, submitting examples of or links to previous work and a cover letter in any format.
