sites outside of this.

local community as
well as those with a specific Live Art interest.

SOUTH HILL PARK

South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell, will commission four artists to
participate in a Rules
and Regs event beginning late April 2007.

Part of SHP's purpose is to commission bold new work and foster emerging
talent, both
within the SE region and beyond. As an established venue, we are wary of
becoming fixed
and stale in the way that we use our resources and work with artists – and
the way that we
relate to our external environment and communities. We would therefore like
to
commission work that explores these challenges of site and production
relationship,
aiming to use the experience of two more established artists to foster the
creativity of two
early career artists and to use our site and facilities in new,
un-established and
experimental ways.

DETAILS:
Commissions available:
• 2 `emerging' artists - £500 each, all-inclusive fee
• 2 `more established' artists - £1250 each, all-inclusive fee
Participating artists will have access to a programme of professional
development as well
as a wide range of resources.
Artists will be expected to spend significant time at South Hill Park during
the duration of
the project, and will be required to attend several key meetings.

Deadline for applications to be received is end of business on Wednesday 28
February
2007. Successful applicants will be notified by Fri 16 March. For full
