YVAN: Nourish Programme: Call-out for Artist Networks

Beyond the Obvious #2 Programme: Nourish

Call-Out for Artist Networks

Nourish Programme

Nourish is a development programme co-produced with YVAN, led by sub-regional artist-led networks. The purpose is to support the group to identify strengths and needs, then to allocate funds to invest in the network’s development. Artists will select a research question/s to explore with the Cultural Co-producer in 3 co-produced sessions.

Three selected networks will receive:

£1,500 for the network’s activity: decided by and for the collective, whether invested into; artists’ fees, public-facing/digital activity, investment into digital hardware or software, skills/training development, Equity, Diversity & Wellbeing training etc.

3 co-creation sessions between June – August 2021 with YVAN’s Cultural Co-Producer. Using collective agenda setting, the network will identify assets, and work through short-term solutions and long-term sustainability. Within these sessions, funds will be decided on and distributed to support the network’s chosen activity.

We’re looking to support a public-facing event/outcome for the final session. This may include a talk or sharing of research, learning, work in progress etc.

Marketing support through YVAN’s channels and wide network.

The deadline is 9am, 30th April. For more information and how to apply, please visit our website.
