Saltaire Arts Trail: Contemporary Art Commission 2012
Saltaire Arts Trail is an annual visual arts festival showcasing contemporary art and craft that takes place in the world heritage village of Saltaire, part of Bradford District in West Yorkshire. With support from Arts Council England through the National Lottery and working in partnership with Bradford’s creative development agency Fabric we wish to commission an artist or arts group to create a new piece of work to be presented during the Saltaire Arts Trail in May 2012.
Applications are welcome from contemporary artists in the early stages of their career who live or regularly work in Bradford district. If you wish to be considered for this commission please send a brief (1 side of A4) proposal, your CV and up to five images showing previous work to [email protected] by Friday 10th February.
In your proposal you should describe your idea, what form it would take, how you would go about creating it and any ideas about where it might be shown as well as up to five images to support the proposal. If you wish to submit any moving image material as part of your proposal this should be via a link to where it can be seen online and should be no more than 10 minutes in length.
