Bristol Music Trust seeks an artist or artists to help us devise, create and run a community-based project with an artistic output to explore Bristol’s relationship with the name Colston and Bristol Music Trust’s position within the debate. This work would have two strands:
- Exploring responses, issues and future actions around the name Colston in the city and around Colston Hall's name change and;
- Working with communities to create a reciprocal dialogue about the role of the Hall in the community and what an inclusive concert hall should look like
We are keen to work with BAME artists, those from Bristol and those working to a musical output. However, these are not pre-requisites. We are open and excited to hear from those with an appropriate and creative approach to the brief.
Timescale
Ideally the project would start at the beginning of November2017 with the artists output delivered in time for Colston Hall’s closure in June 2018. This is a timescale that can be discussed on appointment – it could be that the project is staged with some output taking place in June 2018 with ideas and explorations developing after this time.
