Tender description

The role of the Arts Development Team in Halton includes programming professional performances, film, special events and exhibitions for the Brindley and to develop and organise education and outreach work with visiting companies and artists. Based at the Brindley in Runcorn, we work in partnership across Halton with schools, colleges, community groups and local agencies to develop projects and long-term strategic planning to enable greater access for all to the arts. We run a series of regular classes for children, young people and adults and are seeking professional artists to lead these workshops for us. We work in partnership with both schools and many other agencies, within and outside the council to develop arts based projects. These are dependent on funding and will vary in length, investment, outcomes required. For these projects we are seeking a pool of professional artists working across all art forms, who are particularly interested in community engagement and / or education based work. We are also looking for artists across all art forms to deliver projects specific to the history of Runcorn Hill Park, and who have a particular interest in community engagement based work. Working alongside the Community Engagement Officer, and working with local schools/groups to deliver workshops based on the Heritage of the park.
