Our Space are working with East Street Arts, to shape local development in the area with a creative Neighbourhood Plan and Forum. This work will centre on the voices of residents and gives them the opportunity to have a say on projects, developments and ideas for the area.
To gather interest, they are making postcards with artwork on the front and information about the Neighbourhood Plan on the back. These will be distributed in and around Lincoln Green, Mabgate and Burmantofts.
They are looking for two artists to create visual artwork for the postcards. This can include photography, illustrations, drawing, digital art or any other visual artwork that can be printed on an A6 size postcard.
