✨ Hello from Take Me Somewhere!
We're popping into your inbox since you're on our artist opportunities database with a reminder of an amazing Do It Together opportunity (deadline approaching) and some exciting BUZZCUT news.
Psst...did you hear that we just put on a festival?! Thank you to everyone from near and far who came to a show or supported us in any other way. It was a glorious two weeks of connection, movement and joy.
📣 Opportunity: Do It Together
What can we do together?
Live Art Development Agency (LADA) invites proposals for 10 peer-to-peer professional development projects designed by artists for artists to take place across the UK between March and September 2026.
Do It Together (DIT) reactivates LADA’s flagship programme, DIY, which ran unique professional development projects by artists for artists from 2002 to 2020.
DIT celebrates the unfixed, the unruly and the unconventional. This is an opportunity to do things differently, and to support each other to challenge the status quo.
We're supporting two projects in collaboration with two incredible partners: BUZZCUT and Scottish Sculpture Workshop.
In April 2026, BUZZCUT Festival returns to Glasgow and will be hosting artists who make raw and challenging work in an encouraging atmosphere. BUZZCUT and Take Me Somewhere are looking for proposals that feel well-positioned within a festival context like BUZZCUT.
Scottish Sculpture Workshop and Take Me Somewhere want to hear from artists and practitioners who are interested in working together with landscape, objects and materials. The project should happen in or near Scottish Sculpture Workshop.
📅 Deadline 12 November 2025, 5pm
⚡️ News: BUZZCUT Emerging Artist Award announced!
We’re so excited that the two BUZZCUT Emerging Artist Award recipients for 2025/26 have been announced!
The BUZZCUT Emerging Artist Award is a year-long opportunity for two Scotland-based performance makers. The 2025/26 awardees are Marios Ento-Engkolo and Charneh Watson, and both will perform as part of BUZZCUT Festival, 15-19 April 2026.
Marios Ento-Engkolo (he/him) is an Afro-Mediterranean, queer, Glasgow-based dance artist passionate about storytelling and emotional expression through movement. His journey began in 2017, and dance has become his primary medium for connection and self-expression.
Charneh Watson (she/her) is a performance maker, community artist and anthropologist. Her practice combines live art, theatre and participatory arts. The form of her work is varied, but it is always collaborative. Charneh loves to create ensemble pieces with fellow artists, audiences, and communities.
The Emerging Artist Award supports emerging artists and performance makers, providing funding, residency space and mentorship to allow them to create the work they want to make. Carried out in partnership with Take Me Somewhere, Centre for Contemporary Arts & London Performance Studios.
That's all from us for now, but keep an eye out for more opportunities landing soon 💌 (...right after our obligatory post-festival massage and margarita).
