Opportunities with us

Powered by CAN, supported by Arts Council England, are launching The Black Country Fellowships, a new programme creating Artist-led projects for young people in the Black Country. Four fellowships are available to Artists aged 18-34 with strong links to the Black Country, with each fellowship commanding a fee of £15000 and a project budget of £5000. Successful proposals will be selected by an independent panel of young people, one project for each of the four boroughs; Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton. Fellowship Artists will develop projects that benefit a specific community of young people (aged 0-24) within the Black Country. For FAQs please go here
