Inspiration and themes
800 years ago Salisbury Cathedral and its community moved from Old Sarum, a feat that required the greatest physical, technological and intellectual skills. Join in our Salisbury 2020 celebrations of movement recognising this great achievement. Draw inspiration from this extraordinary moment in our history and discover what you can move.

Opportunity
Discover what you can move?
We are announcing an opportunity to work across different media and create new work for submission to an exhibition of young people’s work.
This project is intended to be fun and inventive, support learning and promote creative thinking and problem solving skills.
This is an open call to explore the world of automata and movement. It is an invitation to stretch and challenge: to be creative, ambitious and innovative. This project seeks to encourage young people to be inspired by a theme of movement and to produce something exciting whilst using art, science, design and technology.

We look forward to seeing a spectrum of ideas encompassing creative thinking and an artistic output. The results might include functional objects such as a moving toy, a household aid, or even a prosthetic limb. It could be a robotic mechanism, wind powered object or a piece of a kinetic art.

Submissions may be made in the form of 2 dimensional designs, digital programmes, scientific experiments and discoveries, video or fully constructed 3 dimensional pieces. Submissions will be displayed on our website and social media pages and selected pieces will be displayed in libraries across Wiltshire and Swindon later this year.

To submit your work please complete this form by 24th August 2020, contact clare.threadgold@wiltshirecreative.co.uk if you have any questions.
