Home Is Where The Fine Art Is: Serial Two - Telephone Band For Artists

The BBC is looking for "talented passionate artists" for its bit serial of "Home is Where the Art is" - amongst around other fifteen episodes each featuring 3 artists and/or crafts people.

Home is Where the Art is returning for a bit series.

The type who can:

• work to a brief
• create something fabulous for a buyer you've never met

I'd add together the type that:

• don't heed non getting paid (except a notional total for materials) if yous are non selected past times the client
• don;t larn a named credit inwards the halt credits of the programme (of which to a greater extent than below!)

They likewise desire to "showcase how rewarding commissioning fine art tin be" but I estimate that's to a greater extent than for the customer than the artist.

Some of yous may holler back my previous posts on the kickoff series including

• Home Is Where the Art Is - needs a makeover! in which I highlighted
• my concern most the absence of whatsoever lift credit inwards text inwards the programme
• explain why it should endure mandatory that all participants who are professional person artists larn a named credit.
• Commission an artist: 'Home is where the Art Is' (Episodes 1-5) my endeavor to redress the residual on credits
• Commission an artist: 'Home is where the Art Is' (Episodes 6-10) (as above)
• Commission an artist: 'Home is where the Art Is' (Episodes 11-15) - this includes my overall conclusions most the show

My spider web log posts are the most comprehensive amongst honour to the artists featured. They include:

• website too social media links for the artists who participated inwards each episode
• contact details are embedded inwards the artist's name
• commissions details are provided if self evident

If you're interested inwards taking part, I advise you 

• take a hold off at my posts equally the episodes from the First Series are no longer available online (although doubtless volition endure made available 1 time to a greater extent than simply earlier the Second Series is broadcast).  You'll larn a feel of the diversity of skills too competences involved.
• ponder on the fact that they are filming inwards Oct too Nov - which tin endure real busy months for those who are preparing/creating stock for the run-up to Christmas
• note that they specially similar artists who alive inwards the North. (Some of yous volition own got worked out that this BBC Studios production is based inwards Manchester! It likewise agency yous relieve them coin on the move expenses budget equally most of the locations of clients volition likewise endure inwards the northward of England i.e. northward of Birmingham!).
• note likewise yous require to practise a human face upwardly to human face upwardly interview via Skype - although around artists are suggesting that they should utilization Facetime instead.

If you're yet interested, yous tin contact the BBC via artistsartshow@bbc.co.uk

If yous don't hear from them past times September, you've non been chosen.

The Lack of NAMED CREDITS Issue

I am becoming increasingly annoyed past times the television receiver programmes which utilization professional person people equally their "reality stars" too yet faily to give them whatsoever credit and/or pay them.

I real much RECOMMEND that artists should spend upwardly to accept role if at that topographic point is no formal written understanding that their lift is featured inwards the halt credits. Otherwise at that topographic point is no tape of yous ever having taken identify inwards the exhibit - other than my spider web log posts!

Here's what I had to nation inwards 1 of my spider web log posts equally to why NAMED CREDITS are important

For all those maxim that the names are said inwards the programme thence why practise they require the credits?

Well a pose out of reasons:

• to honour the function of professionals - simply equally the credits at the halt of the programme honour the function of the people behind the scenes who brand the programme
• two of the 3 are unpaid - too providing a named credit is fair central for the many hours given for complimentary to brand content for the BBC. Otherwise it's the equivalent of working for complimentary for the exposure - but without the exposure inwards price of a lift to enable people to notice you!
• the names mightiness endure said - but nobody spells them out. In the kickoff calendar week at that topographic point are THREE artists where I had to maintain replaying the segment to hear to the names 1 time to a greater extent than too 1 time to a greater extent than - too fifty-fifty thence in conclusion identified them using information from elsewhere inwards the programme (eg "Gallery Windermere paintings cattle" got 1 of them).
• the BBC is hypocritical too ignores its ain rules when it suits it - such equally making certain it gets non bad guests on the Graham Norton exhibit - because they are alone at that topographic point to promote their latest whatever - too ever do!

Sky Arts too around other production companies who are commissioned past times the BBC got their deed together on this trial afterwards I named too shamed their programmes....

I volition decease along amongst the naming too shaming until such fourth dimension equally the BBC "gets it" and makes it routine that all professionals who characteristic inwards television receiver programmes larn a named credit at the halt of the show.

The dedicated Facebook group

The master copy artists from Series 1 who are on Facebook own got ready a dedicated Facebook Group which continues to highlight their activities - too marketplace position their art!

You tin notice it at Home Is Where the Art Is artists 2019

Interestingly, a pose out of other "arts too crafts people" likewise decided to brand expert utilization of the programme championship too at that topographic point are straight off a fair few pages most "Home is Where the Art is" on Facebook - but own got goose egg to practise amongst the programme!

and finally......

If yous larn selected, brand certain that your website, Facebook Page (not personal account), Twitter describe of piece of job concern human relationship too Instagram describe of piece of job concern human relationship - if yous own got them - are all looking expert too are smasher upwardly to engagement BEFORE your episode is broadcast.

H5N1 pose out of artists wrote to me to give thank yous me for the fact I featured their websites inwards my spider web log posts too said what a divergence it made to traffic to their website - too of course of report to a greater extent than commissions!
