Stevenage and North Herts Suffrage Stories: Artist wanted!

Stevenage Museum and its partners would like to commission an artist (or artist collective) as part of the 2018/19 Suffrage Movement project that has been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. We hope that this art project will not only help to improve local knowledge, but showcase and celebrate North Hertfordshire’s role in a national movement for change.

The commission offers an opportunity for an artist (or artist collective) to design, develop and deliver a creative project for the local people of Stevenage and North Herts. The Artist will work collaboratively with the local community (especially young people) to develop a film depicting scenes of the Suffrage Movement. This
will then be projected onto buildings in the two town centres.

Budget and Artists Fee:
Artist Fee for planning, preparation and delivery of activities: £4500
Materials/equipment/consultant’s fee for the installation : £3500
Total Project Budget: £8,000

Artist Role:
To develop the creative idea, concept and plan for the project.
To work with organisations and volunteers
To produce a film that looks at iconic themes of the Suffrage Movement
To assist with the installation of the projection

The Film:
The film will be located in Stevenage Town Centre and North Herts Museum and Town Hall and therefore needs to be suitable for a very broad audience. It will need to be a simple but striking film. The film will be projected onto buildings and the logistics of this will need to be considered, but we may split the delivery into content and projection if necessary.
