Creative Kirklees
Newsletter - 11 January 2022
|
|
Good
afternoon all!
Here is
this week's Newsletter. As usual we have lots for you to see and
do. If you want to escape those January blues, how about signing up
to SING ON with Opera
North? This starts next Monday 17th at the Lawrence Batley
Theatre. There is nothing that lifts the soul more than a good
sing! Or maybe you would like to turn your hand to drawing and
paint?
It’s not
too late to grab yourself a ticket for this Wednesday’s Lunchtime Chamber
Concert which will take place in Dewsbury on 19 January with Alice Zawadzki,
a singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist.
We have
some fantastic new opportunities for you including an open call for
artists from The World Reimagined.
Applicants are invited to apply to create Globe Sculptures and bring to
life the reality and impact of the transatlantic slave trade.
The open call is free to enter and all applicants will have access
to masterclasses with leading artists, curators and historians.
Another great opportunity is the Let's Create Jubilee
Fund which provides funding for voluntary and
community organisations. Take a look - don't miss out!
Become a Sheffield DocFest Youth
Jurer is a fantastic opportunity with the Arts
Council for young film enthusiasts aged 18 - 23 to get involved in.
We also have jobs and lots more on our Opportunities page.
In the
news, there is an interesting read (updated on 4th January) about The Live Events
Reinsurance Scheme. This scheme supports live
events across the country that are at risk of being halted or delayed due
to an inability to obtain COVID-19 cancellation insurance.
We will
keep in touch – sending details of more events, news and opportunities in
and around Kirklees.
See you
all next week!
