Cultural Collective Lead Artist FINAL Cultural Collective Project Toonspeak are recruiting for a freelance Lead Artist within a national project - ‘Culture Collective’. A creative visionary with a passion for community arts projects, with the experience to deliver a large-scale project. WHO WE ARE Toonspeak is a youth-led arts organisation based in Glasgow, on a mission to transform lives through creativity. We work with children and young people aged 0-25 in areas of multiple deprivation, supporting young people who face additional challenges. The aim of our activities is to enable young people to realise their potential, and become leaders and contributing members of their communities. For more information www.toonspeak.co.uk About the ROLE We are looking to recruit a Lead Artist who will have extensive experience in delivering participatory arts work to a range of different individuals and community groups. It is essential that this person has a community-led, development approach and embraces an equalities, diversity and inclusion approach. This artist may be from any art form background e.g. dance, circus, drama, visual arts, music, film. The Lead Artist will play an essential role in consulting with local organisations and community groups, recruiting participants while being responsive to individual’s needs, supporting their creative journey by providing unique and compelling arts activities and projects and taking responsibility for legacy opportunities after the project has finished. (Support will be provided from our Culture Collective Project Coordinator, Toonspeak Programme Manager and the project partners.) In addition, the Lead Artist will work with the Toonspeak Programme Manager and Culture Collective Project Coordinator in the recruitment of a team of associate artists and assistants. The Lead Artist will support the delivery of arts workshops and projects to local people in Ward 17 of Glasgow (Springburn / Balornock / Barmulloch / Robroyston / Millerston) as well as working with the Project Coordinator to mentor the other artists involved. This may be up to ten additional artists (at varying career points within their own artistic practice), all of whom will be empowered to creatively respond to the identified needs and interests of the community, and the project steering group. As well as the delivery artists, the project will include support from a Dramaturg to help guide the narrative of the expected performance. Workshops will take place from September 2021, culminating in a celebratory community performance in Summer 2022. The Lead Artist will have the artistic vision to creatively steer all participating groups towards one artistic outcome, and will be supported by additional Production staff, experienced in the facilitation of live events. The Culture Collective project will be delivered in person, in venues such as community centres, church halls and arts venues when Covid restrictions permit and may include working outdoors. However it may be necessary to deliver at times online, via Zoom (for which support and training will be given.) About the project Toonspeak is one of twenty six organisations awarded funding by Creative Scotland as part of the Culture Collective national pilot programme, which will establish a network of creative practitioners, organisations and communities, working together to create a positive difference locally and nationally in response to COVID-19. The Culture Collective project for Toonspeak will be based in Ward 17, in the North of Glasgow. A quarter of the datazones in Ward 17 are among the 5% most deprived datazones in Scotland. Therefore a crucial element is that the artists contracted will be passionate about using the arts to empower communities who face challenges of multiple deprivation, and to improve the lives of individuals. Artists will be trained and supported to see themselves as part of the community and we will capitalise on the expertise and knowledge of partners to support the creative team with a deep understanding of the social, cultural and historical landscape in which this project will take place. Toonspeak’s Programme Manager will take on the Project Manager role which will include providing line management support to the Project Coordinator and Lead Artist, who respectively will manage and creatively mentor a team of Associate Artists and Assistant Artists. Whilst the creative output of Toonspeak is primarily theatre based, working with children and young people, the Culture Collective programme will also involve adults and older people in a range of different art forms. The work created will form a celebratory multi-faceted performance in Summer 2022 for all of the community to enjoy. The intention is for this intergenerational performance to take place in a local park. Key knowledge, experience and skills: A minimum of 5 years’ experience of delivering participatory arts activities in a community context. Proven track record of working with a range of different ages, genders, abilities and ethnicities in artistic and creative experiences. Experience of working with an equalities, diversity and inclusion approach to support vulnerable group’s involvement. Ability to deliver participatory workshops outside, inside public buildings and online. Experience of creating/directing community performances, public sharings and working in collaboration with a Production Manager/team. Ability to support individuals and communities to create arts work that culminates in a mixed art form collaborative, community performance. Able to articulate a clear understanding of the importance of the role of the arts in effecting social change and improving the lives of people. Experience of mentoring, delivering training or supporting artists to deliver an artistic and creative programme. A positive, proactive, and flexible approach that is responsive to the participants and steering group’s needs. Track record in using monitoring and evaluation methods and contributing to reports. Ability to work online and remotely with Google, Zoom, MS Teams, and databases (we don’t expect you to be an expert in all of these!) Be willing to work flexibly (working from home, from the Toonspeak office, other spaces offered by our partners) when Covid restrictions permit and attending performances/ workshops/meetings out of office hours as necessary (this may include some weekend working.) Knowledge and/or experience of Ward 17 of Glasgow (Springburn, Robroyston, Barmulloch, Balornock and Millerston) would be advantageous though not essential. The Post: This post will be offered on a temporary, freelance basis. Fee: £27,000 Hours of work: The project will start on 9 August 2021 and continue for 13 months. The fee is based on the equivalent of 40 weeks of full time work and the pattern of the hours will be dictated by the needs of the project as it develops. It is likely to include some weekend work and full-time weeks in the lead up to the final piece and over holiday periods when more intensive workshops will be possible.

Executive Summary The City of Glasgow has a long tradition in the pursuit of a high quality built environment and public realm, continuing to the present day. This strategy represents the next steps in this tradition by setting out how open space should be planned, created, enhanced and managed in order to meet the priorities for Glasgow for the 21st century. This is not just an open space strategy. It is a cross‐cutting vision for delivering a high quality environment that supports economic vitality, improves the health of Glasgow’s residents, provides opportunities for low carbon movement, builds resilience to climate change, supports ecological networks and encourages community cohesion. This is because, when planned well, open space can provide multiple functions that deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits. Realising these benefits should be undertaken in a way that is tailored to the needs of the City. As such, this strategy examines the priorities Glasgow has set out and identifies six cross‐cutting strategic priority themes for how open space can contribute to meeting them.

  • Glasgow Life Update on Venues Not Yet Scheduled for Re-Opening - April 2021
    Glasgow Life update on venues not yet scheduled for re-opening - April 2021 The global pandemic of Covid-19 has forced significant changes to how Glasgow Life operates. We are maximising the impact of the funding available in spite of reduced capacities in venues. We know how much people value our services. We are working hard to reopen venues wherever possible and the list below details the venues for which we are currently exploring future options. We want community assets that are fit for purpose for the ever-changing needs of our communities. Glasgow has led the way in reimagining our community assets and delivering improved models of co-location to increase usage and engagement and some of our services may move to new venues in the local community. The benefits of co-location have been well accepted for a number of years now across Glasgow as a creative way of maximising the scope and impact of important community services by sharing some operational requirements and costs. Examples of this include Milton where the Glasgow Club Gym and local library are based in the same building attached to the local school; Springburn where the local gym, swimming pool and library are based together or in Pollok where Glasgow Club facilities, the local library, a small community museum space and the local health centre are all housed under one roof. Where a service has been moved, the Council and Glasgow Life will continue to explore viable and positive uses for the city’s heritage buildings in line with Glasgow City Council’s ‘Heritage Asset Strategy 2019-2029’1.
