Call for applications
Artist Database
Artlink has an active Artist Database in which we keep artists’ information on file. The purpose of the Artist Database is to have a directory of artists for consideration in our gallery exhibition programme, at exhibitions in outreach venues and for other opportunities that may arise. It is fundamentally so we know about the practising artists out there and can contact you if we have any information/opportunities that may be relevant. If you would like to be added to our Artist Database, please download an artist database application form to complete and return to Artlink.

Artworkers
Artlink’s Artworkers Database is open to new applicants. We have approximately 250 artists from a huge variety of arts disciplines and are always seeking to extend this. We aim to offer the broadest range of artistic talent to organisations and individuals who use Artlink services. We also seek to offer employment opportunities to all artists across the Hull and Humber region. If you would like to apply to become an artsworker you can download an application form.
When completing the application form, please give us as much information as possible about the types of work you have done, the specific areas of interest you have and any areas you may not already have experience of but wish to develop.
When we have received your complete application form, we will request references from your two nominated contacts. On receipt of these all the information on your application form will be added to the database. You will then be posted an artworker information pack, which outlines what is expected of you when running an Artlink workshop. It has information from the Cartwheels course on workshop techniques and includes copies of our child protection policies.
If you are sending back your filled in forms via email could you please save it with your initials in the title, this makes it easier for us to process.
Volunteers
Artlink has many opportunities for volunteers. If you would like to volunteer for Artlink workshops you will need to complete an Artworker application form. When we have received your references, you will be added to our register and will be contacted regarding opportunities. Please make it clear on your application if you only wish to volunteer on projects and do not wish to be offered paid employment. Many of our artworkers are offered volunteer opportunities to help develop their skills. Often, we ask new artworkers to volunteer on a project before they are offered paid employment, so that we can get to know them, where their skills can be best used and how we can best support them in running Artlink workshops.
