What we’re looking for?
For a local artist to collaborate with our young people's group 'Breaking Ground' on creating a signature look for our community allotment.
We have BIG plans for our shared community allotment with PXI, and we want to create a signature look and feel for the place. Things we would like to include in the project are; a mural for the metal shed, a map of our allotment, wayfinding signage at the entrance and possibly extended around the allotment communal areas.
This will be a 6-week project. Scroll down to ‘The Details’ for full schedule.
Essential:
You will:
- help lead a consultation with the young people to share, involve and vote on designs with allotment community, e.g. Our partners (PXI, Norwood Allotment Committee) and other users.
- work collaboratively with young people, involving them in all aspects
- make the workshops accessible for the young people to work hands-on, everyone should be able to pitch in to achieve the look
- create an inclusive, accessible, and representative design of the local community who use the allotments.
- Provide an assessment of your environmental and waste impact.
- Work in painting, 3D, woodwork, carving, upcycling, or something else!
- Responsible for purchasing materials within budget provided.
