  • Call for Artists

    Who? Prism Arts are seeking artists to add to our new database. We are very keen to reach artists who are involved or interested in Disability and Deaf arts or artists working with older people and learning disabled adults. We welcome all forms of artistic practice.

    Why? The database will allow us to continue supporting artists as well as encouraging and promoting a thriving arts community in Cumbria. We are looking for artists to get involved with the following projects;

    Project Delivery: We are looking for artists to deliver work with disabled and deaf groups, older people and learning disabled adults. We would love to hear from artists who are already working in these sectors as well as artists who would like to develop the skills to deliver in these sectors.

    Promoting artists through an online directory on the Prism Arts website: We will be promoting artists who deliver to excluded groups through our website. The website will be updated to include a link to Creative Futures Cumbria and will act as an online search facility, available to organisations wishing to commission artists.

    Cumbria Disabled Artist Network: We are creating a network for disabled artists based in Cumbria. This network will enable artists to share ideas and opportunities and develop potential projects and collaborations.

    Only Prism Arts will handle your data and we will never pass your information on to outside organisations without your consent.

    To Apply: To submit your details to the database or to find out more information please contact;

  • MERIDIAN l URBAN Curatorial Projects on Health

    Haus der Kulturen der Welt invites up-and-coming curators to enter their proposals for site-specific art projects in public space for Meridian I Urban. Curatorial Projects on Health.

    Meridians – imaginary lines running from pole to pole, connecting one region with another – help us map the world. In traditional Asian medicine, the meridian system is an invisible network that provides the body with vital energy. Although Western science has not yet acknowledged its existence, the meridian is our starting point for targeting questions of balance and imbalance.

    Curators are invited to propose artworks for the city center of Berlin. The projects should address the relationship between art and health, referring to its implications for contemporary urban life and challenging our idea of human nature. Creating a map of the city and detecting its pulse, the projects of Meridian I Urban will be presented in public spaces in Berlin during the 8th Asia-Pacific Weeks (September 6–17, 2011). Selected participants will be invited to a workshop in the framework of Synapse, the international network for up-and-coming curators at Haus der Kulturen der Welt.
