Inside Out - Digital commissions for Saltaire Arts Trail

Description

Saltaire Arts Trail is a community arts event organised by Saltaire Inspired and held annually on the late May Bank Holiday weekend. In 2017 the dates of the Arts Trail will be from 27-29 May.

In 2017, a successful grant application to Arts Council England (subject to final confirmation) means that Saltaire Inspired is able to add a programme of light-based and digital art events to the event.

Based loosely around the theme ‘Inside Out’, there are two strands of commissioned activity:

• Two large-scale light-based commissions (see separate opportunity)
• The ‘Artquest’ trail of 15 QR code plaques with downloadable digital content

Artquest Trail:
Artists working in any medium are invited to submit digital work for the Artquest trail.

The works must loosely address the theme ‘Inside Out’ and must be accessible to and appropriate for broad audiences including young children. Works must be under 10mb & in any standard digital file format.

Works will be uploaded to a website and made available through a trail of 15 QR code plaques mounted in public areas. Audiences will be able to scan the codes and download the artworks.

Important: there is no practicable way to limit subsequent sharing or use of the digital work. Only submit a work to the Artquest Trail if you accept the work might be further disseminated by audiences.

Artists whose work is accepted for the Digital Art Trail will receive a £50 reproduction right fee. The original work will remain the property and copyright of the artist.

Application:
Artists should apply by email to Rebecca Henshaw Rebecca Henshaw at team@saltaireinspired.org.uk by Sunday 12th March.

Artists wishing to be considered for the Artquest Trail can submit up to 3 files. Files up to 2.99mb can be submitted as an attachment to an email. Files from 3-10mb should be uploaded to free cloud storage such as box.com, dropbox.com, google drive etc., and links provided in the application.

Artists should briefly set out their biography and experience. CVs can be attached
