A Creative Response to Self-Isolation (Competition) – We’re putting a call out for people to send us creative responses to self-isolation that are produced at home. We will then choose a winner, who will receive a £50 one-off commission as well as some paid promotion of their work across Facebook and Instagram. A select number of runners up will also have their work featured on our social media feeds, if they give their permission for us to do so. All we ask is that your creative response relates to the documentary form, and we’ll happily accept short films, desktop docs, essays, articles and reviews that form a non-fiction response to the theme of self-isolation. Entries need to be sent to info@dochouse.org by midday on Tuesday 31 March. Please put ‘A Creative Response to Self-Isolation’ in the subject line.

There will be the option to have this published by Montez Press, on our website, at the end of the development period. We would like to encourage applications from those who have not been published before.
Deadline for applications: 17th April
Applicants to be notified by: 1st May

Take part in the creation of an international document of isolated history. This small idea released on social media by Tower Hamlets based Stitches In Time stitchesintime.org.uk already has people of all ages and abilities getting needle and thread together, with creative responses coming from all around the globe. They would love you to have a go! Embroider your experiences of isolation, and stitch the story of your everyday life! It could be anything from the things you see from your window, to what you’ve been dreaming of doing but can’t, to the people and things you have really grown to appreciate. Your small individual embroideries will be pieced together into a giant textile, and then once this is all over we’ll exhibit everyone’s pieces together and have a party! Embroidery is really simple, so even if you’ve never done it before we’ve got some great links of tips to get you started. Take part in The By You Tapestry!

The Eaton Fund – grants for artists
The Trustees are able to consider applications for grants from the following people, if they are resident in the UK:
Artists: Painters, potters, sculptors and photographers, not performing artists. The Trustees are always pleased to see photos of the artist’s work or a link to the artist’s website. NB Art students must be UK citizens.
Nurses: Male or female, e.g. SRN, SEN, health care assistants (with relevant qualifications) or dental nurses in employment or retired, in hardship or with long-term sickness/disability.
Women over 18 years, experiencing hardship. Please note, that applications must be made via an independent referee.
Applicants must be resident in the UK.
Grants: Donations are made, once only to each individual, for a specific item or purpose. Sometimes the Fund is able to make a contribution to a costly item such as an electric wheelchair. Applications cannot be considered unless a fully completed form is submitted. A supporting letter from a third party, such as a social worker or tutor, is also required. Once a grant has been made, no further applications can be considered.
Assistance has been given for the following:
a contribution towards setting up a new home after family breakdown
contributions towards wheelchairs in cases of impaired mobility
artists’ materials and equipment and picture framing for an exhibition
Those who have a better chance of receiving a grant:
give detailed information about their background and specific need, and
apply also to other charities for contributions where sums over £300 are being requested. All applications will be considered on their merits. In our assessment of need we aim to be consistent and fair.
