FACT are working with the Make It Happen Young People's Steering Group to design a brief and manage the commissioning process.
Heart of Glass in partnership with Helena Housing have commissioned FACT (Foundation for Art + Creative Technology) to develop a project with Young People from Helena Housings Make It Happen project.
Make it Happen was launched in April 2012 following a successful funding bid by Helena Housing to Reaching Communities, part of the Big Lottery Fund. Now in Year 3, the project seeks to engage local young people in opportunities in Thatto Heath, Four Acre, Parr and Fingerpost.
Young People from the group are working with FACT’s Freehand programme to design a brief and commission an artist to work with young people in the identified areas over a period to time to produce new work together. FACT are working initially with the Make It Happen Young People's Steering Group to design the brief and manage the commissioning process. It is then anticipated that the selected artist(s) will work with a wider group of Young People and that the project outcomes will meet a wider public.
The call for proposals is now closed.
FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) is a Liverpool-based cinema, art gallery and the UK's leading organisation for the support & exhibition of film, art and new media.
Helena Partnerships was established in 2002, when they took over around 14,400 homes from St Helens Council and is the largest housing partnership in St Helens
