Granton:hub would like to commission a visual artist as part of the recently launched ‘Filling the GAP: Granton Archive Project’ which commenced early 2023 and is based at granton:hub, Edinburgh.
The artist will work with Julie Gibb, Development Worker, and history hub volunteers to initially discuss and identify topics for exhibitions, based on the materials in the archive. These preliminary preparations will then result in the artist planning and delivering two activities inspired by Granton’s heritage.
It is anticipated there will be 2 workshops, one aimed at children and one aimed at adults, followed by an art exhibition to be scheduled in 2023. The artworks from these activities will be photographed and will contribute to the archive.
The artist fee involved is £800 for 2 separate workshop activities, including preparation time, in addition to a separate budget of £220 for materials.
Workshops should be delivered in June or July. Visit our website https://grantonhub.org/art-filling-the-gap/to learn more about this opportunity, filling the GAP project.
