Open Call: Fringe Festival - Yorkshire Sculpture International

Over the summer of 2019, Artwalk will be co-producing Index: A fringe festival during Yorkshire Sculpture International. As part of the festival, which takes place across Leeds and Wakefield, they are commissioning a number of artistic interventions, performances and events to happen across Wakefield city centre during two extended Artwalks: 31 July – 04 August and 25 September – 29 September.

The commission opportunities:
2 Large commissions – Combined Artist fee and a materials budget of £1250
6 Micro commissions – Combined Artist fee and a materials budget of £400

Index Festival and the Wakefield commissions are being supported through funding from Wakefield Council and Arts Council England. There are a number of outcomes they’d like our commissions to achieve
To engage and delight the public
To engage people who don’t think art is ‘for them’
To support emerging artists
To celebrate Wakefield’s history and culture
To celebrate and support diversity
To encourage Wakefield residents to feel proud of their city.
