British Science Festival: open call for artists and makers

[Marissa Chazan]

Hi Leeds Hackspace,

 

I am emailing you about an opportunity to get involved with our arts program at this year’s British Science Festival, which will bring cutting-edge science and technology to the city of Bradford from Monday 7^th to Thursday 10^th of September (please note that this is separate from the succeeding Fringe occurring over the weekend). We’re really interested in having a group of makers hold creative workshops, and thought that you might be interested in getting involved or could pass on the opportunity to others.

 

We are seeking individuals and organisations to propose creative activities, exhibitions and performances to be part of North Parade After Dark: an evening ‘culture crawl’ exploring the science of transformations. After Dark will be held on Bradford’s newly transformed North Parade from 6pm to 10pm on Tuesday 8^th of September. We are especially interested in individuals and organisations that are local to Bradford and Yorkshire. Each organiser will be awarded a grant of £100 to £500. Events may take any form, but should engage with scientific content in some way.

 

See the attached brief for more information and details of how to submit. If you have any questions or want to discuss the brief, please do not hesitate to get in contact. We encourage applications from those with minimal experience in the sector. The deadline for proposals is Sunday 7^th of June, and we will respond to all applicants by the end of June.

 

Please pass this email on to anyone that might be interested in getting involved!

 

Kind regards,

 

Marissa Chazan
