Artists Advisory Group Call Out

As part of our ongoing commitment to bringing more diverse voices into our strategic planning, Without Walls is inviting between 6 to 8 artists to join the Artists Advisory Group (AAG) from 2025 onwards. 

The main purpose of the AAG is to support the ambition of Without Walls and invite reflections on the organisation’s development through creative dialogue, collaborative exchanges and critical feedback. The group will play an important role in informing our annual activity, ensuring that our plans reflect the needs of artists, partners and the wider sector. 

The AAG’s main role is to be a critical friend and sounding board to Without Walls by sharing expertise, experience, skills, creative ideas to inform discussion and debate. 

 More specifically, the AAG will be invited to:  

• Provide strategic guidance and feedback to help inform the development of our programmes.
• Feed into the planning and decision-making process of our annual Open Calls for new projects. 
• Share reflections and feedback on a range of initiatives developed by Without Walls with a view to supporting artists in the development of their practice. These cover a range of topics including Access, Environmental Responsibility, Audience Engagement and other relevant topics facing the industry (e.g. Mental Health and Wellbeing, rise in cost of touring and presenting outdoor work including international touring etc.).
• Offer feedback on the training and development support that Without Walls offers to artists and provide feedback on any resources, training opportunities and other materials created by the network.
• Share creative ideas and best practice around facilitating feedback to artists (e.g. on a  proposal or a production).
