The Liverpool Cultural Education Partnership is inviting applications from freelance visual artists with experience of supporting young people to co-create art, as part of our Brand New World visual arts education programme.
We have just extended the deadline to: Monday 29th November 2021, 10:00am.
Liverpool Learning Partnership and the Sister Gwen Appleton Trust are funding six secondary schools to take part in this programme which is engaging 135 young people from diverse backgrounds. Throughout the academic year they are experiencing visual arts workshops, visits to galleries and artist studios, and discussion about how art expresses thoughts, feelings, ideas and beliefs. The next step is for them to express their collective voice by creating an art work with a professional artist.
Brand New World aims to provide opportunities for young people to explore their experiences of living in our current world, their heritage and identities, their hopes and dreams for the future, and how they can express these using visual art of any discipline. Each school will take a different approach that responds to the needs and interests of young people involved. Art can be a starting point for discussion about issues relevant to young people today, for example equality, diversity and inclusion or climate change. Showcasing the final art works will provide a platform for the young people involved to tell their stories, their truths, to educate, spark conversations and demand change.
We wish to recruit artists with lived experience of racism and discrimination, who because of their race or ethnicity are put at a systemic disadvantage. This particular protected characteristic is an occupational requirement to provide appropriate support, understanding and insights when facilitating discussion and understanding feelings about race, racism and discrimination.
If you are interested, please refer to the brief and application form below. The brief provides a detailed role description including context, role, plan/timescale and objectives for this programme, and how to apply.
