Real Tees Valley and Creative Hartlepool

We are now seeking expressions of interest for the Hartlepool Great Place project which will initially work with a group of girls/young women from The Annexe Community Centre (Wharton Trust) based in the Dyke House area. Fundraising is underway to add a second group of young Syrian refugees, to create two contrasting stories about growing up in Hartlepool and their relationship with the place.

We invite first stage expressions of interest which should include a statement about your practice, details of previous experience in a related area and an outline of how you would approach the brief. This should be no more than 3 sides of A4 in total. Please include details of your availability between November 2018 and March 2019.

The overall budget for this commission will be £5,000 which includes fees, travel & subsistence and material (payment schedule to be agreed). There is potential for an additional £5,000 to work with the second group of Syrian refugees.

Artists must be Alumni of The Northern School of Art (formerly Cleveland College of Arts and Design) or have a connection to Hartlepool.

If you wish to discuss any details of this opportunity please contact by email Miki Rogers, Curator Great Place Tees Valley at Tees Valley Arts projects@teesvalleyarts.org.uk or call 01642 264 654.
