Artists, teachers and community arts leaders sought for new BBC series
Twenty Twenty TV is one of Britain's leading independent production companies with a reputation for producing intelligent and thought-provoking documentaries and factual programmes.
Its hugely successful BBC documentary series 'The Choir' recently won its second BAFTA award.
Inspired by the Ashington Group (otherwise known as the 'Pitmen Painters') it is currently developing a new series for the BBC, which will aim to encourage communities that might not normally have access to the visual arts to produce artworks about their lives. The project will culminate in an ambitious exhibition in a major public space.
Twenty Twenty TV is looking for artists/teachers/community arts leaders that can do for the visual arts what Gareth Malone has managed to do for choral singing - someone who passionately believes anyone can be an artist and who has the ability to enthuse and inspire people from all walks of life.
If you know someone suitable, are interested in this opportunity yourself or would simply like to know more about the project - contact Vicky Mitchell on vickymitchell@twentytwenty.tv or 0207 284 2020.
