About the Vital Spark Artist Relationship Programme
Baboró International Arts Festival for Children and The Spark Arts for Children are working together to host a transformational, international artist relationship programme.
The Vital
To make the positive change to the PYA sector The Spark and Baboró aim to achieve, this opportunity is open to artists that identify as one or more of the following:
- African and African Caribbean diaspora
- D/deaf
- Disabled
- Ethnically diverse
- Irish Traveller
- LGBTQ+
- Neurodivergent
- South, East and South East Asian diaspora
You might be:
- An emerging artist who is keen to develop their craft in arts and culture for children and families
- A mid-career artist who has not yet developed their practice specifically in relation to work for children and families.
- An actor, a musician, a director, a visual artist - in fact any type of artist!
We're looking for 8 extraordinary artists to spend time learning, growing and most importantly developing a relationship with us as part of the Vital Spark and GROW
Programmes.
Regardless of your “experience” you’ll have a commitment, passion and drive to create art (in whatever form) for children and families!
