Call to artists to ‘Celebrate with Paws*’ the participatory arts workshop scheme in Wiltshire

Wiltshire Council's arts service offers a participatory arts workshop scheme (PAWS) with projects designed and run by professional artists, to local community groups. Every six months we create a new menu that is offered out to a wide variety of community and voluntary group, after school clubs, youth groups, older people's clubs, disability groups and more.
 
Groups apply for the project of their choice and we then assess and allocate up to 20 projects per season.  Each project runs for a minimum of 8 hours spread over 2 to 4 visits. The fee per project is £350 plus travel expenses and a planning fee.


The forthcoming season, ‘Celebrate with Paws’ will run from April to September 2012, a time when the country will be hosting the London 2012 Olympic Games and celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. To help our Wiltshire communities celebrate these major events we are inviting artists to submit their proposals of celebratory projects to be featured as part of this unique season’s menu.

For more information about the opportunity please read the artists information sheet, if you would like to register please complete the application form and return it to us no later than the 18 November 2011.
