These are the opportunity to apply for some funding to make one of your artistic ideas happen. We’ve invited some artists who have previously received one of these commissions to chat to us about what they created as a result of their commission. We’ll ask them why they wanted to make the work, why it felt right to make it with St Helens Arts in Libraries and what has happened since they made the work. It will be a great opportunity to meet fellow artists in St Helens, hear in more detail about their work and to inspire you to make your own application to the forthcoming round of commissions.

If you are thinking about applying, you can also book a 1-2-1 meeting with either Claire Weetman (visual arts - claireweetman@hotmail.com) or Jim Valentine-Burrows (performance arts/other - jamesvalentine-burrows@sthelens.gov.uk) to discuss any ideas you might have - and access feedback and support on your application prior to submission.
