Helen Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have a very creative friend (artist, musician, singer) who has worked in the past on small projects with nurseries and children's centres. She would like to do a lot more of this! Does anyone know of an agency/official organisation that she could contact to "get on their books"?

Guest Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Oh I can't quite think of the name of it but am sure theres a webpage you can go to for artists that are CRB'd etc.... Just struggling to recall the name. I am sure its initials...... I hate it when you know.......... but you can't quite remember!! Then again it may just be for Worcestershire artists.......... would it be worth contact your arts adviser? She would know for sure. Will pop back if it comes to me.

Guest Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi Helen, There is a national organisation called Creative Partnerships which encourages schools to work with an artist or artists. Will see if I can find contact details at school tomorrow and will then let you know. My school is currently taking part in a creative partnership activity in West Sussex and both staff and children had to design a job spec linked to our project which was then emailed out by Creative partnerships to it's database and then we had to shortlist and interview the candidates. Will let you know if I can find a contact detail at school. NickySussex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_73 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 My first thought would be Creative Partnerships too, I think then work with schools mainly, but then ours did work with our nursery aged children so you never know. They work across England I thnk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_6721 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi It may be worth her sending a flyer round to local settings. We are in Brighton, what does she do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 have a look at www.5x5x5creativity.org.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks Mundia, and dcn. Great information there. diesel.. she has a degree from Uni of Brighton in art/3D/metalwork. She has worked in a CC on a short project where the children made a bench for their outside area. I think mosaics might have been used too, but I'm not too sure about that. I know she'd be great as an art expert supporting EY settings, but I don't know how she can carve a niche for herself. She's also done a lot of work with Year 6 children in their celebratory carnival procession in the summer term, where she has been responsible for the costumes and props for a number of schools. I'll certainly pass on the info so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
