Open Call for an Artist to create a multi-sensory space for children from birth – 2 years old.
The open call is for a lead artist to create an installation, creative experience or space transformation for children from birth to 2 years to engage with along with their grown-ups, which will open to the public on Cruinniú na nÓg . The babies & early years space will then stay in place for The Ark’s Summer programme from June to August. Materials can be replenished for this space but any structures, set-ups, furniture should be created to last for the full summer programme.
This age range includes stationary babies, crawlers and toddlers and each of these stages should be considered in the design of the space.
Child participation is at the heart of The Ark’s practice. The artist will therefore be given the opportunity to devise and lead a series of workshops with this age range and their grown-ups in order to explore ideas, test design elements, prototypes and child engagement to ensure the accessibility and suitability of the finished creative space for the intended age range.
