The Great Crane Art Project - Artist Commission


‘Flying through Europe’ 
Thanks to a successful Arts Council application, SAW’s creative partnership with The Great Crane Project moves forward to an ambitious commission for 2013 with local, national and European project partners.  Shadowing the reintroduction of the Common Crane to the Somerset Levels, from egg collection in Germany, hatching at Slimbridge and release on the Levels, the artist will create work inspired by the project which will connect communities with this unique bird and its place in the Somerset Wetlands.
Proposals are welcome from visual artists and makers working in any medium, including digital, multi media, sound, moving image, photography and live art.
Residency fee:  £4,000
