Creative Scotland has developed an Artistic and Creative Review Framework to create an open dialogue with our Regularly Funded Organisations (RFOs) around the artistic and creative quality of their work.
We will do this through a process enabling 3 perspectives on the work of the 118 RFOs
- Self review (by the RFO)
- Creative Scotland review (by Creative Scotland’s Lead Officer for the RFO)
- Peer review (by independent, relevant expertise from the sector)
We are now seeking a pool of Peer Reviewers from the arts, screen and creative industries sector with professional expertise and knowledge of the following art forms/areas:
Craft
Dance
Digital
Film
Literature, Publishing and Languages
Music
Theatre
Visual Arts
The range of activity to be reviewed
The range of activity to be reviewed will include work which is produced or presented – such as performances, exhibitions, festivals activity and programmes, events etc. Due to the varied nature and range of RFOs’ work it will also include activity that takes place in more participatory settings (i.e. in a healthcare, education, or criminal justice setting), as well as activity which has more of a sector development or infrastructure support focus.
What we’re looking for from a Peer Reviewer
The experience and expertise of the Peer Reviewers needs to reflect the different types of work, scale and range of art forms. We are looking to recruit independent, professional reviewers with sufficient availability and flexibility to respond to this opportunity
Peer reviewers will initially be contracted until 31 March 2017. They will be required to provide a professional, informed, honest, credible, and insightful review of the agreed selected work/activity.
The estimated requirement is for each Peer Reviewer to carry out an average of 6 reviews in the year from April 2016 (although it may be more or less than this). The activity to be reviewed may take place anywhere in Scotland (and in some instances may take place beyond Scotland). Some activity to be reviewed may take place online.
Reviewers will be paid an hourly rate of £28.50 excluding VAT and reasonable travel and accommodation expenses (where these are incurred).
