Peshkar is seeking a new cohort of emerging artists to spend time with us developing participatory practice, working with young people and shaping their profile and portfolio.
We are seeking artists across disciplines under the age of 30 who have an interest in working in a participatory way and an interest in digital practice, although experience in these areas is not essential, this is an opportunity for you to explore, develop, learn and accelerate.
There are no limits to artform, we are interested in anyone from theatre, dance, music, visual arts, digital arts and beyond. All we ask is that you have some big ideas and are looking to develop your practice in participatory and digital environments.
Through the year 2023-24, there are three opportunities to join this programme with the following deadlines:
30th June 2023
29th September 2023
5th January 2024
We are seeking artists who would like to explore socially engaged participatory practice, identifying key target groups in the communities of Oldham, Bolton and Blackburn to explore themes and issues that are important to society in 2023/24.
This is a 10 day engagement including access to mentoring to develop concepts and ideas, training, support to develop digital content to profile your work across Peshkar’s social channels, time to develop and deliver a participatory piece of work with a target group and the chance to showcase work created at Peshkar’s annual flagship event, the Young Digitals Festival 2024. .
We are actively seeking under-represented artists so would particularly welcome applications who possess protected characteristics.
