'Social Works ?' is the commissioning arm of Models of Validation - a two year knowledge transfer partnership between Axisweb and Manchester Metropolitan University exploring socially engaged artistic practice - /models-of-validation/.


The opportunities it advertises are a direct response to issues in the field of socially engaged art identified through interviews with people involved in this practice. 


Our research has shown that socially engaged artists are often working alone and unsupported. This call out is aimed at artists who identify as having a socially engaged practice, and want to connect with other artists face-to-face for support and knowledge exchange. Our intention is to let artists decide how, when and where these events should be held. The only stipulation is that the funding must be used to create an event/s that bring people together, and it must take place in 2018. 


The funding and support includes:
-£600 to be spent as the artist/s coordinating the event see fit. This could include travel expenses, catering, artists fees, space hire etc.
-£150 to support a blogger to attend and write up the event (selected by organising artists).
-Marketing and organisational support
-Post-event knowledge sharing supported by Axisweb.


Please send your proposals including y
our preferred location, a list of proposed attendees, a brief event plan, how you aim to capture the legacy of the event, and a preliminary list of costs (350 words max) to [email protected] - if you have any questions please contact me!

Deadline for application is midnight on 3rd July 2018. 
Supported using public funding by Arts Council England
