Barbican Box is a six-month process where teachers are matched up with an artist mentor who delivers in-school workshops at the beginning, middle and end of the creative process. 

We deliver the box across London, Manchester, Harlow and West Norfolk. In addition to mentor visits, students and teachers visit a professional performance or exhibition and the project culminates with them showcasing their original work.  
 

In January 2021, Barbican Box will return in partnership with HOME, Manchester, with this year’s Box curated by award-winning interactive theatre company, Coney. We’re now looking for inspiring Artist Mentors to support this pioneering Barbican Creative Learning programme.

Artists should be based in Manchester or the surrounding area with a practice that focuses on theatre and/or visual arts and with experience of facilitating interactive creative projects. You’ll use your skills to help introduce local secondary schools to imaginative and adventurous approaches to the arts through a guided process of in-school visits and collaborative delivery.
