Now are are 10 - Theatre Bristol Visual Story Commission

Theatre Bristol is 10 years old in 2015. We would like to commission a new visual artefact that celebrates some of the things we’re really proud of that we’ve helped make happen during that time. 
Invitation

We’d like to invite artists and designers to respond with an idea that we can help shape into a lasting visual document of our first decade.

It might be a postcard, a poster or something completely different – feel free to surprise us.

We would like to receive proposals for something that:

-    communicates and celebrates visually Theatre Bristol’s place in the world: who we’re connected to and what impact we’ve had over the past 10 years.

-    helps to show how and where Theatre Bristol has made a difference, by joining the dots between events, or telling the story of a project or group of people

-    reflects our ethos and the values we think are really important: independence, generosity, integrity. You can read more about our ethos statements in the booklet below.

-    results in a physical object that can be replicated and distributed widely

-    can also exist online in some way e.g. on our website for people who are not able to access the physical object

The audience for the artefact will be anyone who is interested in Theatre Bristol’s work – we’d like it to be for people we already know and work with, as well as a great way for new friends to get to know us. 

What are we offering?

·    £2,000 commission fee (inclusive of any expenses eg travel)

·    Up to £1,000 making costs (e.g. print)

·    Support and feedback throughout the design and development process

As part of the commission you’ll need to have a few meetings with Theatre Bristol staff to draw out the story/ies that will inform the work. We’ll respond to your ideas for how you’d like to do this.
