About this Event
Cultivate Commissions are a component of the Into the Light Place Partnership initiative in County Durham. Into the Light is a transformative programme that will drive long-lasting growth in County Durham through creative collaboration. Over the next three years, it will cultivate talent, widen access to creative education, enhance skills, and break down barriers in the creative industries.
Funders: Include Durham County Council, Arts Council England, Durham University, Culture Durham, and the UK Government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund (specifically for Place Lab and Cultivate Commissions).
Cultivate Commissions are being delivered by No More Nowt and Northern Heartlands. Create North have been commissioned to support the Cultivate Ideas activity.
In this session you will find out more about Cultivate Commissions, the aim, objectives and how to apply. The session will encourage creative practitioners to consider the conditions that enable creativity and a pride of place. The activity will encourage practitioners to reflect on how the commission might support their own creativity and their artistic practice to develop.
The goal of Cultivate Commissions is to bolster creativity in County Durham and instil pride within its communities.
The Cultivate Commissions opportunity includes:
- 10 Seed Commissions of the value of £2000 each
- 4 Germinate Commissions of the value of £5000 each
- 6 Harvest Commissions of the value of £5000 each
- A programme of activity to support awarded practitioners implement, document and celebrate their project and consider how they might apply learning resulting from the creative process to enhance their own creative practice.
