Open Call: We are looking for a new Syllabus Partner

We are looking for a UK-based organisation to join Syllabus as a new Permanent Partner.

Syllabus is a collaboratively produced alternative and independent learning programme that supports ten artists across ten months.

Established in 2015, and now about to begin its ninth programme cycle, Syllabus aims to reach artists with a range of practices and artistic approaches and bring together individuals from across the UK who have not yet (or not recently) had access to similar programmes. Through Syllabus we are particularly keen to support people who are currently underrepresented in the visual arts including artists with Global Ethnic Majority Heritage, those who have faced socio-economic barriers, artists who identify as LGBTQ+, and those with disabilities.

Each year’s Syllabus programme is built around a series of co-produced intensive gatherings, which the ten participating artists attend. During the first retreat Syllabus artists, individuals connected to the partner organisations, the Syllabus Coordinator and the Artist Lead collaborate to identify broad themes for the programme. These form the starting point for an evolving, responsive curriculum that supports individual and collective artistic development across a series of gatherings, providing access to networks and knowledge across the ten months of the programme.

The Syllabus artists, supported by the Syllabus Coordinator and Artist Lead, work with each organisation to shape and co-produce a weekend gathering, which in addition to responding to the interests of the Syllabus artists, reflect the research interests, specialisms, context and location of the partner organisations.

Each Syllabus concludes with a final gathering at Wysing.

Syllabus is led by Wysing Arts Centre, with consortium partners Eastside Projects (Birmingham), Site Gallery (Sheffield), PS2 (Belfast) and Studio Voltaire (associate partner) (London).
