Possible Alternative Work Placement Idea's

As I am interested in doing things other than just graphic design, however still art based, I have been having a think of some possible places where I could perhaps do a work placement.  Whatever I choose to do I wish to use the knowledge and skills which I have learned so far on the course.

I am interested in working with young children and art, also interested in working at festivals.

Hope House Gallery

"Music and Arts Production (MAP) is a Leeds based arts organisation at Hope House that provides alternative education for young people who are having difficulty accessing mainstream education. The Hope House Gallery occasionally holds exhibitions and events, using both internal and external art."

Eden Arts 

Eden Arts is an arts development agency based in Eden in Cumbria. It programmes arts events and activities in a rural context. Eden Arts is funded to develop and deliver strategic programmes of work across the district and to encourage arts engagement and participation wherever possible.


Eden Arts is an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation based in England’s biggest and most rural district, Eden in Cumbria. Eden Arts promotes, invents, dreams and cooks up all sorts of creative projects from commissions to participatory to gigs and cinema.

Eden Arts also do projects with children and community based projects, as it is close to home, I think this is a possibility throughout the summer.


Eden Festival (different from the above)

Eden is a welcoming, atmospheric, family friendly festival, located in the stunning Raehills Meadows.

The whole aim behind the festival is to provide a 3 day celebration of music, dance, colour, culture and community built on an ecologicaly sound and carbon friendly set of principles and to exhibit live music hand in hand with stunning decorations and surroundings.

I now have a place working with the Visual Arts and Deco Team at Eden Festival 2013, very happy!  I will be at the festival for a whole week helping out with creating artwork and putting it up. Exciting :) and hopefully I will get to know a few people and get into doing more artwork for more festivals!
