We're looking for a Creative Writer to respond to Everything is Connected, the exhibition of artworks belonging to the Methodist Modern Art Collection (MMAC) during Bradford 2025 City of Culture.
We're looking for a candidate who will be a published or performed writer with experience of leading workshops and creative sessions.
This is a wonderful opportunity to spend six weeks this autumn as the Creative Writer in Residence responding to the paintings on display, the themes the venues are exploring, the people who engage with them, the inspiration the paintings provide for creative written responses.
The appointed writer will be able to immerse themselves in our exhibitions, working across all six of our venues, collaborating with broad audiences across all ages and with the volunteers who have helped bring these exhibitions together.
There will be opportunities for the writer to share their work and practice, providing creative and intellectual experiences during workshops and pop-up events engaging with a wide range of community partners. At least two writing workshops at different locations will be required.
The culmination of the residency will be a commission to create a piece of spoken word to feature in an evening performance potentially working with the Artist in Residence as part of an 'In Conversation' event towards the close of the exhibition.
Start date: August / September 2025
The core fee is a maximum of £6000 based on up to 20 days work (18.5 hours a week on average).
