Description

Applications are invited from artists and creative practitioners working in any art form for the 2017/18 Micro Commissions Programme with The Horsfall at 42ndStreet.

The Micro Commission programme is a research and development opportunity designed to foster experimentation and innovation in creative practice within the realms of young people’s mental health and wellbeing. They enable practitioners to engage with an established mental health charity with its own creative programme and dedicated creative venue; The Horsfall. 

We invite applications from creative practitioners from any discipline who wish to explore one of the following:

-          The intersections of their practice with young people’s mental health and wellbeing

-          How the history of The Ancoats Art Museum or 87 Great Ancoats Street (the site of The Horsfall) can inspire and inform our arts and mental health practice at The Horsfall (resources are currently being curated into an online collection and can be supplied upon request).

-          Ruskin’s /Horsfall’s vision forUseful and Beautifulart and how this can be reflected in arts and wellbeing work with young people at The Horsfall.

-          The natural world in the urban environment and its relationship to young people and mental wellbeing.

The Micro Commissions will be reserved for practitioners who are 35 years of age or under.. There are are two opportunities in 2017 each lasting approximately one week. Commission holders will receive:

-          £500 expenses

-          Workspace at The Horsfall

-          Support from the Horsfall programme team (creative producer, engagement officer and communications officer)

-          Access to support and information from mental health practitioners
