Opportunity for local artists with Lyth Arts Centre

CAITHNESS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE CALLOUT!

LAC is looking to commission 10-12 artists in Caithness and North Sutherland to each design a 2-page activity for a Christmas-themed, physical and digital, activity book: Caithness, Under the Christmas Tree.

Caithness, Under the Christmas Tree will follow a similar style and format to LAC's successful lockdown project: Caithness, Through My Window, but with a little bit of Christmas sparkle. We distributed over 800 physical copies of Caithness, Through My Window free of charge, and hope to reach at least the same again.

REQUIREMENTS:

We are looking for original and unique ideas so we can put together a variety of activities

The activity page must be 2 x A4 pages in length

The finished page must be submitted in .jpg or .pdf format, so a reasonable level of digital design skill will be required. We can provide templates, and will have a designer pulling the whole booklet together

Keep your proposals as inclusive as possible, so avoiding the need for any additional specialist equipment.

FEE:

The fee for each agreed submission is £294.00. We have calculated this at 8 hours x £36.75 (Scottish Artists union hourly rate), which should give you an indication of the level of work required. We will likely commission 10 - 12 artists to complete their designs.

TIMELINE:

Open call opens: Friday 16 October

Deadline for completing and submitting this form: Monday 2 November (midday)

We will let you know if you have been successful by Tuesday 3 November.

Print deadline for selected artists: Friday 13 November (5pm)
