Call for Proposals: DIY 9

DIY is an opportunity for artists working in Live Art to conceive and run unusual training and professional development projects for other artists.

We want to hear from you if have an idea for an exciting, innovative and idiosyncratic Live Art professional development project that offers something new and is geared to the eclectic and often unusual needs of artists whose practices are grounded in challenging and unconventional approaches, forms and concepts.

We are planning to support eleven DIY projects that will take place between August and October 2012. Each project will receive £1,000 support.

DIY projects may take any form, and can be loosely or rigorously focused on an idea or theme of your choosing. However, we also welcome proposals that specifically respond to one of the following themes. Five of the nine DIY projects will be selected according to these opportunities:

1. Live Art, oil sponsorship and the Arab Spring
2. Live Art and Cornwall
3. Live Art and Whitstable Biennale
4. Live Art and Freedom (see below)
5. Live Art and Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Please see the full Call for Proposals on for more information on these specific opportunities.
