Creative Kernow is seeking proposals from Cornwall-based artists and collectives for four commissions as part of an exciting new event, Flamm, in partnership with Art Night & Counterpoints Arts.
These commissions aim to enrich the Flamm programme, engage audiences in new ways and support contemporary artists living and working in Cornwall by enabling them to make and present new and ambitious work.
The commissions will be presented to the public in Redruth in October 2023 as part of the Flamm event, and we welcome different forms of presentation for both in and outdoor spaces. Fee: £6000 + £2000 production/presentation budget.
A further fee of £2000 is available to selected artists who would like to deliver workshops and/or mentoring.
Deadline: Midnight Wednesday 7th June 2023

Platforma 7 Co-commission
As part of the partnership with Flamm, one of the four commissions will be included in our upcoming Platforma 7 programme.
Platforma is a festival with partners in different parts of the UK every two years. This October the 7th festival will take place in the South West. A wide range of work is presented relating to migration and displacement, along with conversations, network development and shared learning.
For the Platforma 7 co-commission we are looking for work that addresses themes of displacement and place-making, with particular reference to Cornwall. We are also interested in connections to other aspects of diversity and social justice. In addition to everything offered to all commissioned projects, the artist / collective awarded the Platforma 7 co-commission will be supported by members of the Counterpoints Arts team and offered the chance to connect with other artists and organisations involved in the Platforma programme. As with all four Flamm commissions, the artist must be living and working in Cornwall.
