Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, motivated and passionate Activities Coordinator, with experience of coordinating Creative Projects, to join the CVS Inverclyde team and support an ambitious arts project, following funding from Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective Fund. The post is funded by Creative Scotland for 14 months (August 2021 – September 2022) and will spend a significant proportion of their working time working alongside Inverclyde Council and CVS Inverclyde Staff, Kat Boyle Inverclyde Creative Producer and Culture Collective Strategic Partners. The role will have a key position helping to facilitate, attend and promote artist activities across Inverclyde.
Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective Fund is a new 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.
Inverclyde Culture Collective Lead Partners are - Inverclyde Council, RIG Arts, The Beacon, Inverclyde Youth Theatre (Kayos) and CVS Inverclyde. The ‘Arts Sub-Group’ – is an open forum made up of local arts organisations and creatives, facilitated by the Creative Producer who oversees Inverclyde’s Arts & Creativity Strategy (2017). Across 2020 this group have collaborated to create an ‘Arts Action Plan’ – priorities planned into 2021-2023 that sets out ways of improving outcomes for the Cultural landscape of Inverclyde. Partnership, community, and a collective approach to Culture are at the heart of these actions. Our intention for Culture Collective is to create a context for artists to experiment with alternate modes of sharing practice. Our activity is primarily routed at this stage on test piloting new local partnership and community projects that offer a window into new collaborative ways of working including residency and artist exchange process. There is no pre-determined outcome however there are opportunities for artists and the community to reflect and evaluate. Collectively through 21 projects this activity creates over 40 opportunities for paid work for Creative Practitioners in Inverclyde. Our aim is to investigate key areas specific to Inverclyde: Health and Social Care (focus on adult Mental Health), Young People, Regeneration of communities, outdoor work and engaging with Inverclyde communities that have Low Arts Engagement and barriers to access.
