Young people working with Calman Trust are looking for an inspiring professional artist who has the ability to work with them to create *ArtWorks*’ second annual event in Inverness in 2012. Calman Trust works alongside young people in the Inverness area who are making the transition to independence, and supports them in developing the skills and confidence needed to live a fulfilled and meaningful life.

Calman has secured funding from the Inspiring Communities strand of Creative Scotland supported by the National Lottery to develop a yearly event of high quality creative work to be developed, created and run by young people working in partnership with artists and the Calman team. They are seeking a professional artist who ideally has experience of successfully working with young people who have limited experience of involvement in creative activities.

The artist will work collaboratively with young people to develop the vision, theme, content and design of this year’s event. Young people will be involved across all areas of the project including project direction, creation, PR and marketing.

Artist’s (or Artists’) salary, materials and marketing budget: in the region of £10,000.

Should a project require additional funding there would be scope for the artist and Calman to put together additional funding bids to meet this requirement.

For full details on how to apply, please contact Ferga Perry, Inspiring Arts Coordinator at Calman Trust on tel: 01436 248630 / 07841 504246 or email: ferga@calman.org

Deadline: 19 December.
