Oriel Wrecsam – Art Vend Open Call

mike — Tue, 19 May 2015 10:28:12 +0000

OPEN CALL –
Artist Commissions
for
Oriel Wrecsam’s
ART VEND Round 2

Background:
During March 2015 Oriel Wrecsam moved offsite, as plans for a new cultural hub in Wrexham unfold. As we begin this exciting new phase for the arts in Wrexham, Oriel Wrecsam will be developing projects which infiltrate and enhance daily life in the town centre.

The first of these projects is ART VEND – inspired and informed by Woolgather’s Art Vend which has run successfully in Leeds city centre since April 2013: theculturevulture.co.uk/blog/radar/woolgather-art-vend-launch/
www.woolgatherart.com

Following the success of Round One, Oriel Wrecsam is now seeking proposals from artists working in any media, to create artist multiples which will be distributed from vending machines in Wrexham town centre, for £1 each, for Round 2 of this exciting project.

We have added several more Art Vend machines to our ‘fleet’, and will be rolling out this project further into different venues throughout Wrexham.
The challenge – 50 works for £50

We will again be commissioning a number of artists to create 50 artist multiples for an inclusive fee of £50, and each work must be small enough to fit inside a plastic capsule. These parameters of cost and scale mean that innovative thinking will be required!

All participating artists will be joining Oriel Wrecsam in our mission to make contemporary art accessible to all and it is up to each individual artist to design a proposal which feels comfortable in terms of material costs and predicted making time.

To apply for one of the commissions, please send the following to oriel.learning@wrexham.gov.uk

A brief written description of what you are proposing to create for Oriel Wrecsam’s Art Vend
A brief description of why you want to take part in this project (max 200 words)
Up to 6 images of examples of previous work
Links to your website or any other online presence
The deadline for proposals is 9am on Monday 1/6/15

Please note: The artwork must be designed to fit into 85 x 85 mm circular(ish) capsules.

Yn ystod Mawrth 2015 mae Oriel Wrecsam wedi symud oddi ar y safle, wrth i gynlluniau ar gyfer canolfan ddiwylliannol newydd yn Wrecsam ddatblygu. Wrth i ni ddechrau’r cyfnod newydd cyffrous hwn ar gyfer y celfyddydau yn Wrecsam, bydd Oriel Wrecsam yn datblygu prosiectau sy’n ymdreiddio i fywyd bob dydd yng nghanol y dref, ac yn ei wella.

Y cyntaf o’r prosiectau hyn yw ART VEND – wedi’i ysbrydoli a’i lywio gan Art Vend Woolgather sydd wedi rhedeg yn llwyddiannus yng nghanol dinas Leeds ers mis Ebrill 2013:

Bydd yr holl artistiaid sy’n cymryd rhan yn ymuno ag Oriel Wrecsam yn ein hymgyrchi wneud celf gyfoes yn hygyrch i bawb, a lle bob artist unigol yw dylunio cynnig sy’n teimlo’n gyfforddus o ran costau deunyddiau a’r amser a gymerir i’w gwneud.

Artist Assistant Position at Ruthin Craft Centre

Artist Assistant Position at Ruthin Craft Centre

Deadline for applications: Thur 10th of July 2014

A fantastic opportunity for young people aged 16 – 25 to work alongside leading artist Laura Ellen Bacon as she constructs new site- specific installation, unique to Ruthin Craft Centre: which will be exhibited in gallery 2 from the 4th of August until the 21st of September 2014.

The work of Laura Ellen Bacon has been described as, ‘monumental’, ‘uncanny’, ‘compelling’ and ‘beautifully strange’. Laura’s contemporary sculptures were initially inspired by nest-like forms and she has since developed her own unique language with materials – a language that communicates the properties of the materials she uses and her strong desire to turn chaotic amounts of raw materials into ‘spaces’ of some kind.

Powerfully organic in appearance, she invariably creates site specific art and has gained a strong reputation for her large works in built environments, interior settings and rolling landscapes, including Chatsworth, Sudeley Castle (for Sotheby’s) and The Artists’ House at Roche Court in Wiltshire and now for Ruthin Craft Centre in 2014.

For further information about Laura Ellen Bacon please visit her website www.lauraellenbacon.

For information on how to apply, get in touch – mike@thisproject.co.uk

Cyfleoedd am Ysgoloriaethau mewn Argraffu 2014

Fel rhan o ymrwymiad y Ganolfan Argraffu Ranbarthol i artistiaid ar gamau cychwynnol eu gyrfa, rydym yn cynnig hyd at 3 lle ar raglen ysgoloriaeth argraffu ‘Profi’ i ddechrau ym mis Gorffennaf hyd at fis Rhagfyr 2014.

Nod Profi yw i gyfranogwyr ddatblygu eu sgiliau a’u disgyblaeth bersonol er mwyn llunio sylfaen gadarn i’w galluogi i wireddu eu potensial creadigol trwy gyfrwng argraffu.

Rhoddir cyfle i ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus i:

fod yn Aelod o’r Ganolfan Argraffu Ranbarthol

ymuno yn rhaglen gweithdai argraffu’r Ganolfan yn ystod yr haf 2014

(6 gweithdy unigryw gydag amrywiaeth o argraffwyr proffesiynol)

defnyddio’r stiwdio argraffu yn ystod cyfnodau mynediad agored

(trwy gydol mis Gorffennaf hyd fis Rhagfyr 2014)

mynychu’r Symposiwm Printiau a’r gweithdy ategol

(Hydref 2014)

Mae gwerth amcangyfrifol o tua £1000 i bob lle ar yr ysgoloriaeth. Telir am yr holl ffioedd a deunyddiau gan y Ganolfan Argraffu Ranbarthol. Bydd y cyfranogwyr yn gyfrifol am eu cludiant a’u llety eu hunain.

I ddechrau, bydd cyfle gan yr ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus i ddefnyddio’r stiwdio yn ystod cyfnodau mynediad agored a dilyn rhaglen gweithdai’r haf (a gynhelir yn ystod mis Gorffennaf a mis Awst 2014).

Disgwylir i gyfranogwyr gydag ysgoloriaeth roi adborth a chyflwyno dyddiaduron/adroddiadau ysgrifenedig trwy gydol y rhaglen a chaiff y rhain eu defnyddio ar wefan y Ganolfan Argraffu Ranbarthol i hysbysebu’r ysgoloriaeth ac i olrhain cynnydd.
