The fabulous team at the
Brisbane City Council's Creative Communities are currently calling for expressions of interest from Brisbane based artists, crafters, musicians, dancers, writers, performers, makers and shakers to deliver short one-off workshops as part of a free community arts program across Brisbane suburbs in October and November 2011.
Here are all the details:
Event: art bites
Venue: various venues across Brisbane’s suburbs
Dates: weekend days in October and November
Times: workshops should between two to five hours in length
Demographic: targeting adults in Brisbane, wanting an arts experience
Workshop numbers: depending on the art form – no less than ten
Concept: art bites is a series of free arts workshops designed for the artistic beginner to explore and discover their creative sides. The program has two key aims:
(a) to provide opportunities which enrich the lives of the participants through arts and cultural experiences that are both instructive and meaningful,
(b) to offer access to a diverse arts and cultural activity program to those community members:
• who may have no history of artistic involvement
• who may have no belief in their own creative ability
• who have previously had no access to arts activities
• who wish to access to a professional artist
• who are unable to afford traditional classes
Your expression of interest: please send the following information to craig.ball@brisbane.qld.gov.au by no later than close of business
Monday 25 July 2011:
• a workshop outline, detailing format, duration and essential equipment or space requirements
• a summary of costs including artists fees and workshop materials
• a one page resume (including whether you hold a current Public Liability Insurance Policy)
• details of your availability
