Artist / Creative Practitioner Commission

We’re looking for an artist or creative practitioner to work with young people on an exciting new creative project exploring themes of fairness, judgement, identity and representation.

The £3,000 commission will involve delivering eight participatory workshops with Ripon Museums’ Young Producers and young people at Wetherby Young Offender Institution, using our historic mugshots and crime and punishment collections as a starting point.

The final creative response could take many forms, from textiles, film and photography to performance, writing, podcasts or visual art.

We’re particularly interested in hearing from artists with experience of collaborative or community-based practice and working with young people.

Deadline: 20 October 2026

Commission: £3,000
