About
No Jobs in the Arts and Attenborough Arts Centre asked six early-career artists linked to Leicester/shire to spend a day creating at home. With their immediate surroundings as their prompt, artists were encouraged to be inspired by the place they reside in; their home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The work they created embraces the idea of working with what you have or haven’t got, and celebrates the ups and downs of that domestic, creative experience. The resulting six artwork comissions, created by the artists, are displayed as part of this exhibition.

Alongside the digital exhibition we will be releasing six prompts, written by the artists during the residency. These will be shared on our social media platforms and viewers will be invited to respond to them. Artistic responses by the Attenborough Arts Centre’s young ambassadors, Next Gen.Creatives will also come to form part of the exhibition. We hope these prompts and the ‘In Residence’ exhibition will encourage viewers to engage in a different, perhaps a more creative, way of looking at their homes.
