Creative Practitioners

Creative Freedom

Creative Freedom is our new creative and cultural offer to schools in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire which will place 10 artists in residence across schools in the region.
We are seeking practitioners who will excite and energise young people to enable them to access wider cultural experiences, engage in art activities at a deeper level and aspire to future careers in the cultural sector.  We believe strongly in creativity, collaboration and change; we want to work with exciting and dynamic artists who will help teachers embed creative approaches to learning in their classroom.

The activities will be co-planned with teaching staff and will be delivered through 1 session a week with 2 separate fixed classes over a 20-week programme from October 2023 to March 2024 culminating in a joint exhibition sharing event in late Spring 2024.

We are open to applications from any type of artistic or creative practice this could include photography/digital arts, ceramics, music, performing arts, visual arts, sculpture, poetry and creative writing.

We have had particular interest from schools around ceramics, drawing, performing arts, digital arts and large scale-installation work, therefore we would particularly encourage artists with these skills and areas of interest to apply.

Fee: £4000 (inclusive of VAT, travel and expenses).

Deadline: 28th August, 5.00pm
