Artists with over 20 years experience in the industry
Call Out
Are you an artist with over 20 years experience in the industry, ready to re-engage with the mind of your radical teenage self? Do you want to challenge ageism and perception around who is allowed to be radical? We’re looking for artists who want to break free from artistic constraints and embrace their truest, most radical selves.
What are we interested in?
- Is there a story that your radical teenage self wants to tell?
- How would your radical teenage self forget or challenge everything you know now?
- Would your radical teenage self create a piece of work that you feel you can’t, or is the other way around?
What do we mean by 20 + years experience?
We're seeking ideas from professional artists with a rich and diverse background in the arts, including but not limited to: Makers and Creators, Writers, Directors, Performers

A short proposal of no more than 500 words outlining your concept.
A brief reflection on your own teenage rebellion experience and how it might inform your artistic practice today.

3 artists will be selected and paid £1500 to take their work to the treatment stage. This fee includes time with the Frân Wen team, including the Artistic Director and Producer.
