REFLECT | Creating Spaces of Memory and Reflection in Argyll and Bute 

Fee: Scottish Artists Union Rates will be applied

Applications are welcome for 1 commission £15,000 or 2 small projects each at maximum budget of £7500

Duration: The project will take place from October 2023 – July/August 2024

Commissioned opportunities are open to any artist/s residents in Argyll and Bute (island and mainland)

 

This work will include 2 key stages:

  • Design, Development, Delivery
  • Community Celebration of Achievement: Our Community Reflects

 

Reflect is an exciting opportunity for artists or practitioners to work collectively with local communities to support the delivery of Remembering Together in Argyll and Bute (2023-2024). Submissions are welcome from artists working in partnership with local community/heritage gardens, arts & heritage trails and/or development trusts to design and build areas for memory and reflection.

Reflect builds on the outcomes of the first phase of the Remembering Together consultation carried out in Argyll and Bute by Lateral North, where the majority of participants noted the importance that the outdoors and natural environment played in supporting the mental health of our communities during the pandemic.

 

Reflect has a two-fold approach:

One: the creation of new spaces for reflection/artworks at a total of four distinct sites

Two: The celebration of achievement to take place on Our Community Reflects Day, July/August 2024

 

For further details and information about how to apply, please see the job description.
