Press Releases

We are inviting people from all across Wales to contribute feature articles (up to 2000 words) or online arts projects or interventions for our thematic monthly editions. Contributions are invited in any media that can be hosted on the web platform, including video and sound and embedded media.

Our third edition will focus on Food and Sustainability. Our way of life has changed dramatically recently, and we’re still figuring out what our future will look like. We are faced with the challenge and opportunity to rebuild and reimagine.

How does Food and Sustainability relate to the future of Arts culture here in Wales?

Do you have a vision of the future where we have food justice: where everyone in Wales has enough to eat?

What does our journey there look like and how can we use our creative skills as artists to help us get there?

How do we rebuild and reimagine Arts and art culture in Wales, in a way that serves all of our communities?

Is it time for a transformation?

We are looking for submissions that address one or more of the following:

1. brave and engaging content which reflects the rich history and diverse practice of the Arts in Wales
2. responds to work in the Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales Collection
3. explores the role of art and artists in bringing about change
4. exemplifies personal and lived experience
5. suggests how education can address and reflect ongoing conversations in this area
6. considers how the future can be reimagined

Please feel free to make reference to artwork on Amgueddfa Cymru Collections Online, or other arts content that you have permission to reproduce.

You do not have to be an art critic to apply. We are very interested in voices of lived experience and those approaching the Arts from a different angle, and we’re keen to hear voices responding with respect to BLM and We Shall Not Be Removed.

We welcome applications and submissions in Welsh and English.

The deadline for proposals is 18/12/20.

NB: This should be an original piece of work which hasn’t been published previously.

The application process:

• Submit a 200 word summary of your proposed article or project synopsis to maeve.heath@museumwales.ac.uk
• Include your name, home address, contact details and a brief paragraph about yourself
• A mixed panel will review these summaries within 10 days and decide which ones to take forward
• Successful applicants will be paid (£250) for their contribution

If you are thinking of submitting a proposal and have further questions please contact: selena@auberginecafe.co.uk
