Workshop Assistant Opp

Live Art Local CIC are looking for a student or graduate artist/creative industries to act as a workshop assistant this summer to assist the lead artist in workshops with young people aged 11-18.

We are not expecting you to have previous experience of running/assisting in workshops although this would be beneficial.

Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund we are running a series of free workshops for young people over the holidays, every week will feature a different artform and there will be three sessions a week (Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday), we are looking for an assistant for either the Tuesday or Thursday sessions.

All workshops begin at 1:30pm and all last for between 2-3 hours.  The hours and artforms are given below:

Week 1: Experimental Mark-Making, both Tuesday and Thursday sessions are 2 hours long

Week 2: Printmaking Tuesday session is 2 hours, Thursday is 3 hours

Week 3: Sculpture Tuesday and Thursday are both 2 hours long

Week 4: Filmmaking Tuesday is 2 hours long, Thursday is 3 hours long

Week 5: Product Design Tuesday is 2 hours long, Thursday is 3 hours

 

The payment for the sessions are as follows:

2 hour sessions £50

3 hour sessions £74

 

We expect you to arrive 20 minutes before the session to help with set up (13:10) and to start behind and help clear up at the end of the session.

 

This is a special fund for the summer holidays, and as a result we only found out two days ago (28th July) that our bid was successful.  Therefore we are working very fast to very tight deadlines.  The sessions begin this week and so we will be running your first session as a trial.  You will be paid for this trial and we will let you know by the next day whether we will continue working with you.  As this is a freelance position you are responsible for your tax.  We will ask you to invoice us (we can send you a template) for your session and you will be paid by the end of the following week for each session you work (the quicker you get the invoice to us the quicker we can pay you!).  We will pay the money direct to your bank account.

Musician/Songwriter Needed For 2 Workshops

Due to funding for a new project this summer (details embargoed by funder until 11th April) we are looking for a musician/songwriter to work with us.

This opportunity would involve two 1 3/4 hour workshops with children/young people to create a song (details about the theme will be given upon application) that they will then perform in Fareham this June.  The workshops will take place once a week in the final two weeks of May (exact date to be confirmed).

 

The main requirements we have for the selected musician is that they hold a current DBS certificate, or if they have a BASIC DBS that it is within the last 6 months; and that they have experience of running workshops and working with children and young people.

 

We will pay the selected musician/songwriter £150 per workshop and up to £20 expenses per session.

It would be nice if the selected musician could attend their performance of the piece, however, this is not mandatory and we are unable to pay for attendance as it will fall outside the time of the workshops.  However, we may be able to cover travel expenses.

 

To apply you can complete the form here. Please remember to insert a link to examples of your work
 

To discuss any aspect of this opportunity please email beth@liveartlocal.co.uk and leave your phone number for an informal chat.

This is a fast-moving project and we will get back to people by the 17th April

We Are an Arts Award Centre!!!

 

We are delighted to announce that Live Art Local CIC, and our space in Fareham Shopping Centre have been given Arts Award centre status.  This means that we will soon be offering courses and other opportunities for children and young people to gain these nationally-recognised qualifications.  We are currently able to offer Arts Award Discover and Explore for Primary aged kids and above (although we can make exceptions), and Bronze and Silver Arts Award for older children and young people up to 25 years.  We will seek to offer opportunities for the Gold Arts Award in the future.

 

These opportunities will be within art and literature, however we are looking to working with Arts Award advisers in other artistic fields (music, theatre and dance) to expand this offer in the future.

 

What is Arts Award?

Arts Award is a qualification, moderated and awarded by Trinity College London.  Arts Award’s unique qualifications support children and young people to develop as artists and arts leaders.  The programme develops skills for success in 21st-century life including creativity, leadership, reflective thinking and communication skills. Young people also develop knowledge and understanding of their chosen art forms.
It is open to anyone aged 25 and under and embraces all interests and backgrounds.  Through Arts Award young people learn to work independently, helping them to prepare for further education and employment.
