Raising Awareness
and Understanding of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty
Community
artists such as writers/illustrators/photographers are needed to work closely
with a number of community groups and members of the Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (AONB) team to produce a range of texts and
illustrations which will be used to bring a statutory document to
life.
The community
artist/s engaged will hopefully draw out and capture people’s creative responses
to the elements that make up the natural beauty of the special area, through
participatory work.
It is
envisaged that this will be a collaborative commission between two or three
community artists e.g. writer/illustrator/photographer who will work closely
with a number of community groups and members of the AONB team to produce a
range of texts and illustrations which will be used to bring a statutory
document to life.
Outputs
There are
three elements to this commission:
1.
Artist/s to
produce a ‘Statement of Significance’ or ‘what makes this area special’ in
conjunction with the AONB team (one – two A4 page/s, mainly
prose).
2.
Artists
working with community groups to produce creative material that will form an
introduction to each section of the Plan (2 A4 pages for each section - 10 in
total). Chapter headings are as follows: landscape, natural environment
(wildlife and natural resources), historic environment, rural land management,
rural economy, planning and transport, viable rural communities, awareness and
understanding, involvement and learning, access and
wellbeing.
3.
An exhibition
of all work produced to help significantly raise the profile and awareness and
understanding of the AONB and to help ‘launch’ the new Management Plan in
May/June 2014. The team proposes a ‘rustic feel’ for the exhibition regarding
venue, setting and display of contributions.
Deadline for
applications is Wednesday 25 September
2013.
Interviews
will be held w/b 30 September
2013.
