Queens Hall Arts are commissioning new work as part of their digital platform, QHA Digital - http://www.queenshalldigital.com. It is a micro, 'days work' commission opportunity open to all UK based artists, technologists and digital makers regardless of nationality, age, or career stage. We are looking for a simple piece that can be shown online.

Open Call for Online Commissions

This is an ongoing programme. A new round of commissions will launch  May 2020 and feature on the Queen’s Hall Digital site. Currently we are looking to commission 6 artists for the coming months. The work can be a new idea, a sketch or a piece of work you haven’t shown yet. Something that can start a conversation and create new understanding of something you think more people should know about. This can be a short film an animation, a slideshow, a drawing, a sketch , a piece of audio, written and/or spoken work. We are also open to new ways of experimenting with the way work is shown and shared online. 

Fee

There is a one-off commission fee of £250 (to include research and all stages of production for the work). This is a micro commission opportunity as is reflected in the fee. It is intended to cover one day's work so please bear that in mind when submitting your proposal.
