Callout – Designer/Artist/Maker – Blackfield Community Space

We are looking for an artist-maker or artist collective to design and refurbish a space at the back of The Store in Blackfield, New Forest. The space will function as a pilot project to test if it will work as a Creative Hub for local residents to participate in creative activities, for fun and wellbeing, with an emphasis on recycling. Location: The Store (to be re-named Lucie’s Place), 153 Hampton Lane, Blackfield, SO45 1WE

Culture in Common supports community-led culture. We are a Creative People and Places programme, enabling arts and culture for everyone, everywhere. With support from Arts Council England, New Forest District Council, Energise Me and New Forest National Park Authority, Culture in Common is working to broaden and strengthen participation in the arts and culture in areas of The New Forest District that are considered to have been historically underserved. Culture in Common’s mission is to change the nature of arts and culture from top-down to community-led and our purpose is to support people in the New Forest to shape and lead the arts and cultural offer in our District.
