Feast

Over 8 years of FEAST we have developed a great network of artists and portfolio of projects. There is now an enormous amount of knowledge and skill in Cornwall about how to deliver successful participatory projects which really encourage people's own creativity. We think it is time that we made more of that skills pool and created opportunities fo... r artists newer to the industry to learn in practical ways from artists who are experienced in leading FEAST participatory projects. To do this, we are offering Moveable Feast - a grant of up to £1,000 to artists/ arts organisations wishing to offer a meaningful training placement opportunity for an emerging artist on a FEAST project which is participatory in nature. The grant can only be used towards paying a bursary to the placement artist. We are running Moveable Feast as a separate and new funding stream - additional to the existing ones. You can apply for FEAST funding just as before and will not be disadvantaged if you do not offer any training placement opportunities. Please note that Moveable Feast will only support placements in projects which are participatory. If you want to be persuaded about why it would be worthwhile offering an opportunity to a young artist, please have a look at the video diary made by the three apprentices supported by FEAST, through a grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. They each had a six week placement on Rogue's Winter Woods.Read More
