Introduction:
Peepul Culture is a restarting of the Peepul Centre’s artistic journey – and a fresh new branch of Leicester’s arts and cultural ecology. We are seeking proposals to form a rich, varied and strong programme across art and cultural forms. For example, you can propose anything from a traditional exhibition to a series of lectures, a craft workshop or even an animated installation.
A minimum of 10 proposals will be selected to form a programme that will be presented from mid-August 2022. Learning from the past two years, and the interruptions caused by the pandemic, we want to be reasonably flexible in developing a curated experience for all involved and will work with the selected proposals to ensure a feasible delivery to engage audiences in meaningful ways.
All applicants will receive a free invitation to attend The Peepul Culture Mutual Arts Forum in Autumn 2022 (date to be confirmed).
Age:
You must be 18 years of age or over.
Art-forms:
Proposals are invited from all arts and cultural forms, including Visual, Performance, 3D, Literary, Moving Image, Digital and Socially Engaged Practices.
Contexts:
Your proposal is required to be relevant to one or more of the following contexts:
– Leicester’s Public and Communities
– South Asian / Indian Subcontinent / Diaspora Cultures
– Global Dynamics and Futures
Financial:
Selected proposals will be paid a fee of up to £300.
Fair pay:
Proposals will be assessed based on experience level. Selected artists will be contacted and agreement of fee/pro-rata ratio will be contracted on an individual basis.
Added-value:
We are fully aware of the importance of paying for your participation, yet we have a limited budget. Therefore we are extending the services that we offer to you. We offer promotional, production, curatorial and after-care support. Additionally we encourage you to participate in wrap-around opportunities, e.g. talks, workshops, panel discussions, to support your progress and raise your profile. For non-selected proposals we offer email feedback, giving reasons for non-selection and an invitation to develop proposals for future opportunities.
