Artists and creative practitioners with the relevant experience either living or working in a Kirklees postcode are invited to apply for the below opportunities via an open call process.
As part of the country’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the gradual re-opening of business, these commissions aim to contribute to the re-opening that is taking place in Kirklees, Yorkshire.
The commissions will be big on impact, high on curiosity and playful, weaving safe practices and social distancing creating the environment for new exchanges. The spirit will be one of collaboration, shared experience and togetherness.
Arts organisation Beam has been appointed by Kirklees Council to produce two commissions in Kirklees with particular focus on Dewsbury and Huddersfield town centres, as part of a creative approach to safely re-engaging the surrounding communities with these urban centres.
Sculpture Trail (10 x Opportunities at £2.5k fee each)
Taking inspiration from Kirklees and supporting the greening of the town and wider regeneration plans for new town parks, a cohort of artists will design green sculptural interventions that reflect the surrounding nature of each town helping to green these urban centres creating a fun and friendly welcome.
