In Another Place

CVAN EM is inviting applications from organisations based in the East Midlands to take part in In Another Place. If your organisation would like to be part of a coordinated display of artwork across the region, an integrated programme of engagement activity and a national publicity and PR campaign, we want to hear from you!

In Another Place will celebrate the wealth and breadth of the contemporary visual arts produced and presented by organisations in the East Midlands, with the aim of engaging and developing audiences across the region. Participating organisations will have the opportunity to select work by artists featuring in their programmes at the time of the project for presentation as billboard posters in a region-wide presentation between May and July 2018. These will be animated by a coordinated programme of audience engagement activity, as well as by printed and digital material, which will be produced to expand the reach and visibility of the project.

All billboards will be presented simultaneously in locations around the region other than where the participating organisations themselves are based, presenting a vibrant and accessible display, with which to engage passing viewers and entice them into their venues. In Another Place will be promoted through a joint public relations and communications campaign.

Organisations will be required to commit £900 to take part in the project. They will receive a contribution of £1000 from CVAN EM to support their involvement.

Organisations will be selected in May 2017 by an independent selection panel comprising Barbara Matthews – Head of the College of Art, Architecture, Design and Humanities and Pro Vice Chancellor (Culture) at Nottingham Trent University – Craig Ashley – Curator, Producer and Director of New Art West Midlands – and Sarah Reed – Visual Arts Relationship Manager at Arts Council England.
