As part of Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service's Firefit brand, to increase participation of communities within sport, cultural and healthy lifestyles, they host these free workshops as part of an international art competition entitled 'My Place on the Isle', exploring faith and identity in modern Britain.
The workshops are open to emerging or established artists from within Merseyside who are over 17 years old and there is the opportunity for the winners of the 'My Place on the Isle' competition to have their artwork displayed at the Saatchi Gallery during London 2012.
The workshops will run on the following dates from 9.30am to 5pm:
Wednesday 28 September 2011
Date to be confirmed.
Places on the workshops are limited and attendees will be chosen at random if applicants exceed spaces, however this is just the beginning of an exciting project. Throughout 2011 and beyond Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service will be developing further opportunities to enable community art groups to display their work. Please e-mail culture@merseyfire.gov.uk for an application form.
