About the opportunity
We are building a database of artists with experience in costume design, prop making, music, dance, performance, puppetry to work alongside diverse community groups in Norwich.
The aim is to upskill the community groups and empower them to create their own visions for carnival, thereby increasing the collective creativity of Norwich.
