Call out for Artists & Creative Practitioners for Kids’ Own Artist Panel
Kids’ Own Publishing Partnership
Closing Date: 29 June 2026
Kids’ Own is currently seeking to update their artist panel and is inviting expressions of interest from artists, writers, illustrators, musicians, performers, and creative practitioners interested in collaborative arts practice with children and young people.
This is a paid opportunity for practitioners working in socially engaged, child-centred creative practice. The panel will inform opportunities for future projects taking place over the next three years across the island of Ireland.
Kids’ Own works nationally across schools, communities, libraries, early years settings, and other cultural contexts, creating ambitious collaborative projects that foreground children’s voices, creativity, and agency.
Applications are welcome from practitioners at all career stages. Mentoring and support will be available for early-career artists and for practitioners who are new to collaborative practice with children and young people.
