DORSET PRIDE OF PLACE AWARDWe are looking for community groups and partnerships who care about their local environment and want to be a part of creating something distinctive. You might have a special project in mind such as a new community space or want to promote something unique about your village, town, local countryside, but need help to develop your ideas and come up with a great idea that really shows off the identity of your local area? If so, the Dorset Pride of Place Award could be a great opportunity for you.Each year, one community group or partnership is picked to work with an artist to develop their ideas and come up with a distinctive idea, ready for fund-raising and planning. The artist works by discussing the project with the winning community group, spending time in the local area and considering the aims of the project- they then develop a concept that is truly unique and reflects the place, so rather than having something `off the shelf`, you have a fresh and exciting approach. At the end of the process, the artist will present the final idea and the Pride of Place team will provide additional support for your group/ partnership to raise funding and realise the project. So if you are committed to the future of your local area and are interested in this exciting opportunity then read more in the guidance information below. If you would like further information, have any questions or queries then please contact Cleo Evans, Arts Officer Dorset County Council via c.evans@dorsetcc.gov.uk or 01305 224244. The deadline for applications is Friday 2nd July 2010. Good luck! |
