Welcome to The Electric Sunshine Project’s Creative Skills Programme: Part One

The programme is designed for 18-25 year olds not in employment, training or education, offering new routes to realising creative potential, through a range of structured opportunities. It’s a safe place to take part in personal arts challenges and develop a self-defined arts leadership project and achieve a Silver Arts Award.

Activities will take place online and at The Old Electric, Blackpool’s newest community arts hub, and with evidence documented through the Blackpool City of Learning website.

Creative Skills: Practice and Pathways is your chance to develop your own arts practice and experiences and find out about career pathways in the arts.

The activities and tasks for this playlist guide you through recording and documenting your arts experiences, introducing your creative self, identifying and realising a personal arts challenge, reviewing arts events and experiences as the audience and discovering more about career pathways in the arts.

At the moment activities will take place online, but as soon as it’s possible to meet in person will take place at The Old Electric.

Content

Review and share at least one arts event or experience where you were in the audience. The review should focus on the quality of the art and the creativity used to make it or to realise the event(s). This is your opportunity to be an art critic and share and demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of what makes a good arts event or experience from your perspective.
*There are some arts experiences you can find outdoors locally, so why not visit: The Great Promenade Show (South Shore), The Comedy Carpet, or Sand, Sea and Spray Graffiti Trail?
*We will also organise a visit to the Grundy Art Gallery when it reopens.
