Stagetext is going to be 25 in 2025! We are looking to commission a UK based visual artist to create an artwork celebrating our 25th anniversary
Deadline for applications: 9am, Thursday 29th May 2025.
Stagetext is looking to commission a UK based visual artist to create a replicable and unique piece of artwork celebrating our 25th anniversary, marking a quarter of century of advocacy and support in opening up arts and culture to deaf, deafened and hard of hearing audiences.
The commissioned work should be an original piece made by the artist that conveys the value of having access to arts and culture such as theatre, that would otherwise be denied if it wasn’t for theatre captioning and live subtitles provided by Stagetext.
The work should focus on celebrating the uplifting experience of meaningful and rich
connection to culture through text based deaf access.
We are seeking a piece of work that can be readily wall mounted or hung and reproduced as prints, postcards, tote bags and t-shirts, with the original work to be sold at auction to raise funds and profile for our anniversary campaign. For this reason, we are not seeking electronic/digital or 3D/sculptural works.
The selected artist will receive a £2,000 commissioning fee (payable in three mutually agreed instalments) for which to create the original piece of art, plus access and travel expenses
We are delighted to recruit another Scenic Carpenter Apprentice following the success of the apprenticeship scheme in this area
The role is for a fixed-term contract for 2 years, full-time (42.5 hours per week) and based at the Royal Ballet and Opera`s Production Workshop in Purfleet, Essex.
The apprenticeship will be split between the RBO and the Building Crafts College, Stratford. You will study for a Level 2 Carpentry and Joinery Apprenticeship Standard.
You will earn National Living Wage which will increase by 2.5% after successfully completing the first year. Apprentices are expected to use this to pay for their own travel to work and college. College fees will also be paid by the Royal Ballet and Opera.
