The world as we know it has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over-night we have become uncertain and isolated. Our arts institutions are trying to retain their sense of purpose. Balancing their need to serve their audiences remotely in new ways, whilst making sure their doors remain opened to us once we emerge from our homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past week we have worked hard on understanding how we can serve you meaningfully with the resources that we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the measures we are taking to do our bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Offer Expired By reducing the costs associated with managing open calls, we hope to allow you to continue supporting the creative eco-system with opportunities during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charities organising calls that don\u2019t take submission fees<\/strong> can make use of our services absolutely free<\/strong> until the end of this year (31\/12\/2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve never run an open call, this might a good way for you to maintain relationships with your communities and audiences<\/a> during this time. We\u2019re also happy to advise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want to do our very best to empower organisations that support creative talent directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not a charity but want to organise an open call that supports talent. Let us know<\/a> what you are planning and we\u2019ll see what we can do to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s hard to create something meaningful to support you during this time, however, we have tried our best to alleviate the loneliness of being home and make the most of the time we will have in isolation. When we emerge from our homes, we want to be better at what we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, we are proud to be announcing our portfolio review challenges. These aim to motivate you to spend this time on giving your portfolios a lick of paint, create a peer to peer network of people wishing to receive and give feedback \u2013 and offering winners portfolio reviews with exciting judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have launched four calls covering a range of mediums including: Photography,<\/a> Graphic Design,<\/a> Short Story,<\/a> Painting<\/a> with Craft <\/strong>coming soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The creative industries are vital in providing our communities with spaces which serve our societies mental well-being. They allow us to dream, imagine better worlds, inspire us to grow and sometimes escape our current realities. It is vital for us to do our bit to keep them going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although I can\u2019t tell you what will happen tomorrow; I can tell you that today we stand together shoulder to shoulder (2 meters apart of course) ready to take on the challenges it may bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re not doctors, we\u2019re not banks, but we are here if you need us \u2013 our chat button is on the bottom right of this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay safe<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want us to write more content like this?
