It’s an exciting time to collaborate with SICK! Productions as our work continues to gain recognition from partners and funders, who are backing our long-term vision for creating meaningful local, national, and global impact.
ABOUT
We are seeking mural artists to design and create artworks for shutters on Moston Lane. These murals will highlight the rich history and dynamic present of Moston Lane, reflecting the unique stories of the shops and the evolving narrative of the community.
Artists will work collaboratively with shop owners and SICK!’s NOW Fellows – young people from the area with a passion for local heritage and an interest in developing their research skills - to develop and finalise their designs.
KEY DATES
The project will begin from March 2025 starting with a NOW Fellows meeting and visit to the local business. Once this is complete, the brief and concept stage will take place and installation of the artwork.
Fee: £1,750, inclusive of meetings, concept creation and production of the final piece (approx 7 days total). There is also a £200 budget available for materials.
Location: Moston with some planning meetings taking place online.
Skills and Experience Required
We’re looking for artists who are:
* Interested in co-creation practice;
* Interested in working with local businesses and groups;
* Have previous experience of creating murals for shutters;
* Are enthusiastic about platforming local history.
We’re particularly interested in hearing from artists who would define themselves as working class and/or those who have a connection to North Manchester.
