Open Call: Artist Filmmaker

Craigmillar Now is seeking to commission an Edinburgh-based artist filmmaker to support us to document a series of workshops with young people in the Greater Craigmillar area connected to the soon-to-be-released Greater Craigmillar Arts Trail.

About The Greater Craigmillar Arts Trail:

Throughout 2023, Craigmillar Now has been working with local communities and volunteers to develop the Greater Craigmillar Art Map. The Art Map highlights 9 significant creative public landmarks both surviving and removed around the Greater Craigmillar area, and comprises a walking map designed by Out of the Blueprint, an audio trail of oral histories from local people talking about their connection with each stop, and a digital site with archival images and media illustrating the stops further.

Our supporting workshop programme will involve local young people leading tours around the area and engaging with landmarks on the Greater Craigmillar Art Map route. The artist filmmaker will document these activities and walks around the local area. Workshops will take place between April - July.

To apply provide:

A weblink to your work or up to 5 images of previous workshops or pieces of media or art that you have delivered

A short CV

We will also accept equivalent descriptions recorded as audio or video files. If you have any particular access needs that would make the process of submission easier, please email us at: info@craigmillarnow.com

Fee based on 12 half-days @ £135.00 = £1620. Travel costs up to £50.

Deadline: 11 March 2024, 5pm
