Working in close partnership with the National Trust and their team at Flatford Mill in Dedham Vale, Suffolk, Essex Cultural Diversity Project is inviting proposals as part of our commissioning programme for 2021-22.

Essex Cultural Diversity Project commissions provide an opportunity for creative practitioners and artists to not only create new work, but also explore diversity and develop their socially engaged and participatory practice. The projects capture the spirit of place and this commission should aim to connect with communities and give people a platform to meaningfully engage with the core subject of this commission; the 200th anniversary of The Hay Wain by artist John Constable.

Deadline: 7. June 2021

Who is it for: Creative practitioners. Although we welcome proposals for new works and exhibitions, the quality of engagement is the most important consideration for this project.

Benefit: £10K commission fee
