1) >>> Arts and Mental Health / Folly Commission

Folly is in the process of developing a community focussed project in
collaboration with an informal drop-in day centre for people with mental
health problems in Lancaster. This project will involve participants from
the drop-in centre and lead to work that is documented on line via the Folly
website www.folly.co.uk.

An artist will be commissioned to develop their own work as a response to
issues arising from or experiences of mental health. Alongside this
commissioned activity users of the drop-in centre will engage with creative
workshops developed in consultation with centre staff and Folly.

Whilst the quality of artistic practice and awareness of Internet based
creative production will be important, good interpersonal skills and being
receptive to the overall aims of the project will be essential requirements
for this opportunity. Good photographic skills and knowledge are also
desirable for this project.

Activity will take place in spring / early summer 2003. Initially
