Arts Projects: Open Call for Artists and Workshop Facilitators

Are you bursting with creative ideas that you want to share with the community? If you are, let us know!

We are currently seeking artists, art groups and workshop facilitators for exciting upcoming programmes. If you enjoy connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds, and have a passion for nurturing the creativity of young individuals through collaborative creation, we’d love to hear your workshop concepts and/or art project proposals.

The three types of projects and collaboration models we are looking for are outlined below. Selected artists receive a sponsorship fee to cover their work and the art materials required to bring their proposals to life.

The three categories are:

Category 1: Community Art Workshops

Duration: June 2024 to March 2025

Project description:
Our community art workshops provide fun and enriching visual and performing arts experiences for participants aged 4 to 18 from low-income backgrounds and small group homes. Our goal is to use art to help participants see the world in new ways and make a transformative difference to young lives.

Proposal scope: 
We are looking for workshop facilitators to conduct courses of six to ten 90-minute creative sessions involving visual arts, performing arts, or mixed media. The workshops are typically conducted in activity rooms at community centres or other smaller community spaces.

Category 2: Inclusive Community Art Programme 

Duration: August 2024 to March 2025

Project description: 
This programme brings together individuals with diverse backgrounds and abilities, encouraging collaboration through a variety of arts activities. The goal is to promote equality, create an inclusive and barrier-free society, and broaden perceptions of what art can be. Creative outcomes will be collected and showcased in March 2025.

Proposal scope:

1. Commissioned Artworks: 
We welcome innovative and interesting interpretations for original commissioned works of visual art, performing arts or mixed media / multimedia combinations that convey the message of inclusivity.

2. Artist-in-Residence Programme: 
Artists should work closely with participating schools or community organisations, conducting four to six sessions of visual art, performing arts or mixed media workshops that facilitate and promote inclusivity.

Category 3: Large-scale Carnival / Youth Education Programme

Duration: July 2024 to December 2024

Project description: 
A large-scale, two-day youth art carnival with giant puppets, dramatic costumes, performances and arts stalls, preceded by a five-month pre-carnival programme of creative workshops involving puppet making, costume design, dance creation and more.

Proposal scope: 
We are looking for artists working in the following areas who are keen to work individually or collaboratively with students and young participants and provide innovative arts experiences for the public:
● Interactive craft booth 
● Large-scale puppet or props making
● Carnival costume design and creation
● Cantonese and/or English-language theatre performance
● Choreography (contemporary dance) 

To Apply:

We welcome proposals from enthusiastic performing artists, visual artists and workshop facilitators from all creative disciplines. 

To apply, please complete the application form with a description of your artistic concept and related drawings and sketches if needed. Please also submit photos, videos and/or website links to previous work. Applicants must be permanent Hong Kong residents aged 18 or above.

Please submit your proposals to Ms Mag Hung via email at mag@hkyaf.com on or before 30 June 2024.
