PARTICIPATORY ARTIST RESIDENCY

Imagine Lab: Early Years and Families

The Village Storytelling Centre (VSC) is delighted to present an opportunity for an early career participatory artist to develop their practice with early years children (0-5) and their adult carers in a new 16-week residency.

The selected artist will work alongside our experienced practitioner within VSC’s community based Imagine Lab programme. Funded by Cattanach and Glasgow City Council, Imagine Lab provides early years children and their adult carers with a range of quality storytelling and arts activities. Facilitated by an Early Years Storyteller, our workshops explore a range of themes through immersive and sensory processes.

Throughout the residency, the selected artist will explore a theme or activate a creative approach that will provide practical support & learning for families which:

• Support and encourage social skills, language development, fine motor skills, confidence and creativity within the early years children.
• Facilitates parent/carer confidence in being led by their child in play, in creativity and imagination.
• Can be replicated easily by parent and carers at home, with no or minimal cost

The residency will take place over 16 weeks from August to December 2024.
