Artist Call Out: Summer at the Quayside 2024

We are looking for artists to provide activities for our summer programme which runs from 23rd July – 30th August 2024
Building on the success of our previous Summer at the Quayside programmes, Exeter Canal & Quay Trust are looking to commission a range of individuals or organisations to create a family friendly offer on the Quayside over the school Summer holidays.
We have set aside the Transit Shed for Tuesdays, Wednesday and Fridays (please note Fridays have been allocated so it is only the Tuesdays and Wednesdays we are looking to fill). Our preference is for activity that reflects the setting and heritage of the Quayside in some way – there are some incredible stories to be found and we would love these to be built into our cultural programme wherever possible.
All events or sessions must be free for the participant to access. Our preference is for
informal drop in sessions, but if booking is key to your project we can talk about ways of
making this work. Exeter Canal & Quay Trust will pay your fees and expenses so please include these within your application.
