Artist
For a visual artist or multidisciplinary practitioner whose work needs clearer positioning, stronger collection structure and purposeful routes for curators, collectors or audiences.
Three founding pilot opportunities
C.I.S. is inviting three carefully selected projects to take part in an introductory pilot: one artist, one creative entrepreneur and one community or cultural organisation.
Who the pilot is for
For a visual artist or multidisciplinary practitioner whose work needs clearer positioning, stronger collection structure and purposeful routes for curators, collectors or audiences.
For a founder building a culturally distinctive service, product, studio or creative business that needs a credible platform for growth.
For a CIC, charity, cultural programme or community initiative that needs to explain its purpose, outcomes, partnerships and opportunities clearly.

Important pilot terms
Each pilot remains a professional engagement with a written scope, defined responsibilities, agreed schedule and introductory fee based on the project’s requirements. Selection is based on strategic fit, readiness, available capacity and the value of learning across the three project types. An application does not guarantee a place.
C.I.S. will not publish confidential information, fabricate outcomes or require a positive testimonial. Case-study material will distinguish clearly between decisions, deliverables and evidence gathered after launch.
Expressions of interest
Describe the work, its audiences, its current stage and what the website needs to make possible.
