Dear Colleague,
We would like to invite you to participate in Creative Case NORTH, the second phase of sector-led activity exploring the Creative Case for Diversity.
Building on activity that took place in Yorkshire , North West and North East in 2012/13, Arts Council England has convened a North area approach to the Creative Case, with the aim of:
· extending reach and embedding the Creative Case at a deeper level within the arts and cultural sector
· supporting National portfolio organisations and Major partner museums with equality action planning developments, and embedding the Creative Case into plans for the 2015-18 investment round
· developing further a visible and shared commitment to diverse programming within mainstream provision
A consortium of arts and cultural organisations from across the North area has developed Creative Case NORTH. This is a programme of activity which will facilitate new and continued exploration of partnership models between creators and facilitators of artistic, cultural and participatory practice, and the range of spaces in which they make and share work with the public.
The programme is:
2 x Creative Case NORTH Seeding Events
18 and 19 February 2014, Newcastle/SalfordBringing together National portfolio organisations (NPOs), Major partner museums (MPMs), freelancers and a range of strategic partners to share exemplars of best practice in partnership working, and mutually explore one another’s practice through shared enquiry. The events will be an opportunity to explore and test ideas/plans prior to NPO and MPM applications to the 2015–18 investment round.
4 x Creative Case NORTH Residencies
6-15 May 2014, North areaCommissioning of four artist/organisation residencies, with partnerships across artform/museum and spectrum of scale. Focusing on mutual enquiry into the three pillars of the Creative Case - Representation, Recognition and Visioning - the residencies will provide a creative approach to exploring partnership models, be it in making work or the infrastructure in which work is made.

Through its bespoke programme of residencies and events it explores a rich diversity of partnerships whilst uncovering new collaborative approaches which place the creation of art reflecting contemporary Britain at the heart of our creative case.’ Amanda Roberts, Director, Diversity, Arts Council England .

Alem is 14, in London with his father on the best holiday he has ever had, but then the unthinkable happens; he awakes to find himself alone, a stranger in an unfamiliar country. Overnight, he has become a refugee.

State of Emergency Productions , a national arts production company, has received a second stage grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to create the first fully accessible archive related to Black Dance in the UK . Over the course of 2½ years, the project will collect up to 29 archives from celebrated individuals and organisations operating from 1960s through to 2000s. The main aim is to preserve, catalogue and make these collections accessible as well as promote them.
I am looking for volunteers to help with boxing up the collections held at the Depositors' premises, which are for the most part Dance companies. You will be paid travel expenses, and full training will be given.
The task requires mainly helping the depositors to box up records as well as the chance to get involved in other aspects of the project. Although we do not expect to have very heavy boxes, you should be able to lift boxes of a certain weight.
Locations are varied throughout London ; ideally, we would like volunteers to work on Mondays and/or Wednesdays, although days could be flexible, depending on the arrangements with the depositors.
Your help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards,
