The RSA Student Design Awards team is now looking for an intern to work with us for the next seven months to provide general support to the team across events, admin and communications. The intern will help with many aspects of the team’s work including assisting with running the competition judging sessions, publicising winners and helping to plan the awards ceremony as well as creating graphics and preparing content for the launch of our 2018/19 briefs. The ideal applicant will have an interest in design education, design for social good, and empowering the next generation of designers. This opportunity would most suit someone who is keen to get stuck in assisting with the management of a fast-paced design competition and curriculum. We’re looking for someone who has strong Creative Suite skills and can assist us in developing communications materials, but who is happy to spend a considerable amount of time organizing logistics, coordinating events, and undertaking a variety of other administrative and practical programme delivery tasks.)

Closing date: Midnight 21 January 2018

The Feminist Archive South is planning to kick start a year of projects to celebrate its 40^th anniversary with an invitation to explore some of the most radical and striking posters held by the University of Bristol’s Special Collections. The event, which will take place on 31^st January from 2-5pm, will be the first of a series of monthly collaborative workshops seeking to engage new audiences with the archive.

Our drive for the next era in the FAS is to create new opportunities for discover the diversity of our collections, explore the intersectionality of materials and bring untold feminist narratives to light.

These sessions will enable participants to learn about archive cataloguing, have a good rummage in our collections and meet people who are interested in the feminist archive. No previous experience is necessary – we welcome anyone curious about the archive to come along and find out more.

The archive sessions will lay the foundations for the 40^th anniversary projects, within which we plan to develop cutting-edge learning resources and a new exhibition based on topics such as gender in education, migration and transnational feminisms.

The workshop launch on 31^st January will be a chance to see and research posters ranging from politics and performing arts to violence and Reclaim the Night.

The dates for the first three events are 31 Jan, 28 Feb and 21 March at 2-5pm at Special Collections, UoB Arts and Social Sciences Library (wheelchair accessible). If you are interested in attending or have any questions please get in touch by emailing feminist.archive40@gmail.com.  Numbers are limited therefore registration is essential.

We look forward to hopefully seeing some of you there!

BLOC productions is a Bristol based theatre Charity and every year they produce one full blown West End Show at the Bristol Hippodrome theatre. The most recent 2017 production was My Fair Lady, which ran in September.

My Fair Lady was a sales success and a big part of this we felt was the professional artwork we had created by Local Artist Matthew Jeanes.

The images are used within the Hippodrome brochure, on the ATG website and ultimately on posters and the big board that over looks the city centre fountains outside the theatre. This is a great opportunity for a young artist or graphic designer to get their work seen in a big way within the city. 

The commission is paid but as a charity we can only afford to offer £250. 

 The criteria are we must receive high resolution electronic image files, which are in a photoshop CS5/7 or equivalent format for editing. We produce lots of different image packs so need open files our marketing team can manipulate. If an artist wins the bid, and they produce an original image on a medium such as the watercolour in My Fair Lady, this art piece must be scanned in at high resolution, in order for us to use it.

The entries must include the show name in text as pictured above. With a font for show dates. BLOC productions do not have a specific logo, the name must appear but it is at the artist / designers digression as to how it is represented.  

The 2018 production is Guys and Doll’s  by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows.

The proposal for final submissions to be received by December 30th 2017 for selection. The final image pack will then need to be finalised within 2 weeks of the competition closing date by the winning artist (deadline January 12th 2018).

Included with the £250 cash prize will be a press release featuring the artist and 2 free tickets to the show which opens in September.
