Where can I find Opportunities?
All TVA opportunities are advertised on our website at www.teesvalleyarts.org.uk/opportunities/ and each opportunity will have specific project details and application requirements which will be stated in the advert and/or project outline.
Applying for an Opportunity

- Samples of and/or links to relevant work
- How you will address any specific project requirements or commitments.
- How you will address any travel arrangements – both to and from the Tees Valley if you live elsewhere, and within the Tees Valley e.g. between venues or to specific sites or host organisations which may or may not be on regular public transport routes. Be realistic and specific!
You should have a statement of approach that includes:
- Your approach to working in the specific sector or setting and how this approach will deliver the desired arts outcomes and non-arts outcomes (learning, engagement, enjoyment, progression etc.)
