Are you an artist keen to share your skills with others? Incubator is an initiative calling for workshop proposals to equip artists with the hands-on knowledge required to successfully design, coordinate, and facilitate online workshops. The organisers are inviting artists of all disciplines with an active creative practice of 3 years or more to explore six workshop categories and submit their proposals.
Categories:
- Immigration, Migration, Mobility.
- Gender and Equity.
- Climate Action.
- Indigenous, Afro, and Caribbean Cosmogonies.
- Food Futures.
- Conversation Through Curation.
Each workshop category has a different production partner and different eligibility requirements to apply – see the full call for more details. Proposed workshops must run for four weeks, held online for 10 to 15 participants.
The goal of the Incubator initiative is to strengthen artists in their ability to share their creative practice and experience with others, while also fostering collaboration and dialogue on specific topics. The calls seeks socially engaged proposals that focus on local realities, engage audiences beyond the art community, and include hands-on experiences and practical tools. Priority will be given to workshops that promote learning and working across disciplines.
Following the open call, the organisers will select one applicant per workshop category. They will receive a grant of 4000 CHF for their project. The grant will be paid in two instalments to cover the expenses associated with producing the outputs of the workshop, such as honorariums, fees, and non-personnel costs. The selected workshop applicant will be paired with the partner from their category who will provide professional guidance, advice and support in the production of the workshop and its subsequent implementation. The Incubator culminates in a joint virtual showcase of all the content developed in the workshops.
