Call for Artists & Collaborators

Company Name

FÍS ATHLONE

Description

 

FÍS arts initiative is currently looking for proposals from artists and collaborators
living/working in the Midlands. This is for a 2 week project taking place in Passionfruit Theatre, Athlone, from 20 to 23 March 2009. It is an opportunity to create new work that responds to both the location (Athlone) and the site (the theatre space).

 

FÍS encourages artists and creative professionals working on the fringes of their discipline and interested in spatial/audio visual/performative
installations/interventions to apply.

 

Proposals will be reviewed jointly by Martina Finn, Westmeath Arts Officer, and Miriam Walsh, Curator. A site visit will be held at the end of January, giving interested parties an opportunity to visit the theatre and work spaces, and to meet with the people involved in the project. If you are interested in attending the site visit, and would like more information please email Miriam at the contact details below.

 

Submissions should include:
- current CV
- portfolio of previous work (6-8 pages), including examples of audio (mp3), or video (DVD/QuickTime) if relevant to work and proposal (max 2 minutes of audio/visual work)
- proposal indicating how this type of project relates to your practice, what you can bring to the project and details of the working facilities/equipment/materials needed
to execute your proposal
- work statement
