DIY 12: 2015 – Call for Proposals
Deadline for proposals: 12noon Thursday 9th April 2015.
This
DIY was a really powerful experience for me; the sensitivity and openness of
the artists enabled us to have in depth discussions of a level that I have not
had the opportunity to experience since my DIY10. Thank you LADA for encouraging
these developmental events, which enable artists to really grow from working
with each other in a supportive environment.

Own, Lead Artist, DIY 11
This
was an amazing experience and ultimately I feel spending a short and intensive
period of time with these fellow artists has enriched my practice. Harold
Offeh, Lead Artist of Call + Response,

DIY is an opportunity for artists working in Live Art to
conceive and run unusual training and professional development projects for
other artists.
We want to
hear from you if have an idea for an exciting, innovative and idiosyncratic
Live Art professional development project that offers something new and is
geared to the eclectic and often unusual needs of artists whose practices are
grounded in challenging and unconventional approaches, forms and concepts.
We are planning to support
20 DIY projects that will take place across the UK between July and
November 2015. In a 50% increase on previous years each project in 2015 will
receive £1,500 support.
