Creative Case North 2014/15

Creative Case NORTH 2014-15 is the third phase of sector-led activity exploring the Creative Case for Diversity within a North Area context.

The programme has developed from the ambition amongst Creative Case NORTH Consortium Partners to capitalise on the energy and momentum that investment to date has enabled, and continue developing the growing sense of community around the Creative Case for Diversity within the North Area. Creative Case NORTH Consortium Partners are; ARC Stockton, Artlink, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Contact Theatre, GemArts, STAY, ZENDEH.

Taking the three interconnected themes of the Creative Case for Diversity; Equality, Recognition and Visioning, the activity will bring together National portfolio organisations, Major partner museums, artists, freelancers and a range of strategic partners for shared enquiry into these themes, through a facilitated and meaningful programme.

The programme will enable and facilitate the new and continued exploration of partnership models between creators and facilitators of artistic and participatory practice, and the range of spaces in which they make and share work with the public.

The three key elements of the programme are:

Creative Case NORTH Dialogues: November 2014 – February 2015
Financial honorariums for National portfolio organisations and Major partner museums to facilitate practical peer to peer sessions relating to 2015-18 Business Planning activity, encouraging dynamic sharing of knowledge, building of confidence, and exploration of potential partnerships. Rolling applications open 17 November 2014.

Creative Case NORTH Explorations (Residencies): February – March 2015
