We are therefore particularly interested in hearing from artists to whom issues of cultural diversity and race are significant. Commission Opportunity This is an opportunity for a practicing artist to produce a major new film, video or digital media work that will be commissioned and produced in collaboration with Film and Video Umbrella during 2009. The work will be staged at two London venues, and form part of a UK-wide programme of touring exhibitions. The commissioned artist will receive an artist's fee. Development Opportunity This scheme aims to provide artists with an opportunity to further their practice, through a six-month period of working closely with FVU's creative team. Development opportunities include a small bursary for research and consultancies, and an artist's fee. Application process Please download an application <http://www.fvu.co.uk/proposals.jsp> pack and submit by 12 March 2009 at 3.00pm. Call 020 7407 7755 to have an application pack posted or emailed to you. Film and Video Umbrella supports equality and diversity. On this occasion, Film and Video Umbrella has been funded by London Councils to encourage a better representation of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic and/or Refugee artists in the cultural sector, therefore artists from these backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply. All applicants are welcome. <http://www.fvu.co.uk/proposals.jsp?uid2680&ebid512> more online... top
