Arts groups are being invited to get involved with a virtual reality (VR) to the area.
The South and East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership, which South Holland District Council is a part of, is working with MBD, an organisation specialising in creative digital storytelling to create an Infinite Museum.
A council spokesman said: “The ‘Infinite Museum’ will comprise of a VR headset that will take users into a virtual lift to explore different floors, bringing to life the rich history and heritage of South and East Lincolnshire, and highlighting heritage stories linked to our creative hub sites, such as Ayscoughfee Hall.”
A paid four-day residency is being hosted by MBD for people looking to develop new skills.
“Artists from all creative fields are welcome to apply regardless of experience in virtual reality, and could range from writers or poets to sound designers and illustrators,” the spokesman continued. “The artist residency, which will take place from November 27 to 30, has a maximum capacity of six artists.
“Each selected artist practitioner will receive £1,000, making this a fantastic opportunity.”
Anyone looking to attend can email a ‘Statement of Interest’ to [email protected] by Monday, November 4.
It can be 500 written words, a four -minute video or audio recording which includes why you want to take part in the project as an artist practitioner, and what skills and experience you would bring to the team and providing examples of your previous work as well as your availability for the dates of the residency.
