UP Projects and their Enfield of Dreams partners, invite applications from Enfield-based artists and creatives for an exciting paid opportunity to develop a co-created project for Enfield’s public realm.

The Creative Cluster Projects (one of three strands of the Enfield of Dreams programme), will bring together selected creatives to form a Creative Cluster Team hosted by one of Enfield’s arts and culture organisations (Border Crossings, Chickenshed Theatre, DYSPLA, Facefront Inclusive Theatre, HighRise Entertainment and UP Projects). Participants will take part in six paid* workshops to co-devise and develop the project for Enfield’s public realm, and then will receive a production budget to collectively produce and deliver the project. With an open brief centred on genuine co-creation, projects may include performances, events, and temporary or permanent public art interventions.

There will be a total of six Creative Cluster Teams each including:

  • 2x Locally based artists and creatives (selected via this open call)
  • 1x Producer (from the host organisation)
  • 2x Young people (selected via the Young Cultural Leaders open call)
