Commissioned by Bradford Producing Hub and written by Bev Adams, the Outdoor Arts Guide aims to be a useful resource (rather than a definitive guide) for artists looking to create work for the outdoors.

It provides a brief introduction to the many types of work created for the outdoors and covers the practicalities of fundraising, creating a show, working with artists and audiences, touring and compliance.

Creating the Show

In this section of the Outdoor Arts Guide we dig into the elements of creating the show

Licencing, Health and Safety

In this section of the Outdoor Arts Guide we get into legal compliance, contracts, licences, risk assessments and method statements

Raising the Cash

In this section of the Outdoor Arts Guide we explore raising the cash to put on the show and pay yourselves and others

Sharing the Work

Create a touring and programmers’ pack as soon as you can, so that you can start negotiating with programmers.

What is outdoor arts?

Outdoor Arts is work that is created mainly for outdoor spaces: streets, town squares, parks, beaches and rural landscapes.

Working with People

Outdoor Arts is an interactive medium, choosing your performing collaborators and thinking about your audience will be key to your success.
