For full details please visit https://madewithmany.org/stories
Commission brief
Wellingborough Stories is a community-led oral history project with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery Players. The project aims to capture untold stories from the town’s diverse communities, and represent them through a number of arts and cultural works and events engaging local people. Community groups and representatives including Wellingborough African Caribbean Association, NN8 Writers Group, St Marks Church Wellingborough, the LGBT and Disabled communities, Teamwork Trust, Ukrainian refugees and local artists have been involved in gathering local stories, which have all been documented to a high standard.
The Wellingborough Stories Community Panel will commission up to three artwork/s or projects/events that present these stories in new and innovative ways that include community participation (e.g. could be exhibited, performed, or have community input in terms of production). The Wellingborough Stories Festival will take place in February 2023.
Commission fees
Up to three larger commissions will be awarded between £5,000 – £10,000 including any expenses and VAT, if applicable.
There are separate budgets for venue hire, limited infrastructure and marketing for the sharing of the work in February 2023.
