Call Out to Emerging Producers and Creatives | Carlisle
An Intensive Course for Emerging Producers and Future Changemakers
Eden Arts, in partnership with Blank Wall Assassins, are offering a new initiative to bring together emerging producers and creatives in Carlisle to create a vision for the future of the city.
Be in the 'back room' of this new conceptualisation for Carlisle. Be part of the Bigger Picture.
This opportunity is for a small cohort of emerging creatives to develop skills in the creative industry through project management, production and delivery of a varied selection of projects taking place with Eden Arts and Blank Wall Assassins in 2024. Successful applicants will also be invited to participate in a series of workshops with cultural experts from across Europe and contribute to a vision for the city of Carlisle. The idea is that by participating you will be learning and contributing.
Who is this for? This opportunity is open to individuals from school leavers to those changing careers, who are looking to progress their creative careers, specifically seeking experience in producing cultural events, festivals, exhibitions etc. The ambition is to create the next wave of producers and creatives who will lead the industry in using culture to inform the future of Carlisle. The open call targets schools, colleges, universities and the wider community. Individuals can apply to the scheme and a shortlist will be invited to participate. Applicants from Cumberland will be given priority however this opportunity is open to individuals living in the North of England. This opportunity will offer a wealth of experience that can be applied in future professional roles and endeavours.
How to apply to be part of the Bigger Picture Cohort 2024:
Applicants do not need to be from the area but must have an interest in the future of Carlisle.
Applicants can apply for assistance with travel and accommodation if they are a student and/or on a low income.
The Bigger Picture is made possible by funding from The UK Shared Prosperity Fund
