Job Description

Drawing with Light is a participatory, artist-led event that celebrates the new pedestrianisation scheme for Camden High Street as part of its cultural programme, promoting the walking spaces between the High Street, the Regent’s Canal at Hawley Wharf and Camden Markets. The event also aims to encourage the use of the Regent’s Canal as an alternative walking and cycling route (to fulfil a Section 106 planning gain requirement).

The event will explore leading-edge lighting technologies and their potential for expanding artistic practice, crossing disciplines with performance/dance and drawing, and progressing creative skills and knowledge in the surrounding communities.

Camden Council (Arts Development) is seeking to engage up to three artists/performers from
different disciplines/practices to collaborate together to deliver the event, including:
- artists using light or lens-based media
- artists whose practice is focused on drawing
- movement, dance or other performance based practitioners.

Artists may also include small groups or teams.

The total event budget is £16,000 inclusive of all expenditure. Artists’ fees will depend on experience and achievements in these fields, and based on a guide rate of £300 per day.
