- OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS: TEACHER-ARTIST EXCHANGE. A two-year programme of collaborative professional development for artists and teachers. The Broadway Gallery is seeking 7 Visual Artists to join our innovative 2-year Teacher-Artist Exchange programme, funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Teacher Development Fund. This is a paid professional development opportunity open to all artists within commuting distance of Letchworth Garden City, with a special interest in applications from artists linked to the town.
We’re seeking artists spanning a range of specialisms who can work collaboratively and are keen to develop their own teaching skills within a participatory setting. The project’s focus places an emphasis on ‘process over product’ and values dialogue, interaction, mutual learning and experimentation. We’re looking for artists who share those values and who are open to how this learning opportunity will support their practice in the future.
