Somerset Art Works Projects – Invitation to Artists – Expressions of Interest
Since 2002 Somerset Art Works has worked with a wide range of arts and non-art partners, providing opportunities for communities to work collaboratively with professional artists and encourage wider participation in the arts. We are interested to meet with artists experienced in community engagement, co-creation and socially engaged practice across a wide range of art forms. Projects are in planning for a number of engagement programmes, working with a wide range of participants in a variety of settings.
We will be holding 2 days of online interviews on 10 and 11 May 2022 to provide artists with an opportunity to present their work to us, and for us to learn more about the work you do.
SAW’s approach is to carefully match artists with communities and projects, in consultation with the participants/groups involved. If you are not selected for forthcoming projects we will keep your details on file for future opportunities. We have been able to offer work to approx 50% of artists submitting Project Artist Expressions of Interest in 2021.
