The “Missing Women” project is inspired by the 13 paintings of a father and sons that hang in Auckland Castle and the missing female members of the family.
Creative Youth Opportunities are recruiting two artists to create a life size portrait of one of the missing women based on their own research (supported by Creative Youth Opportunities) and a body of reference material created with young people.
Creative Youth Opportunities are looking to recruit early career artists with exciting ideas and who are confident working on a large scale. We would like to work with people with lived experience of gender-based bias/ discrimination/ prejudice and who are interested in exploring the idea of minoritisation and the un(der)/mis-representation of people in its many and varied forms. It is also critical that they are excited at the prospect of working in the community with young people and are also keen to develop professionally themselves. The role is open to people living in the North East or North Yorkshire.
