Buckinghamshire Museum Map – Freelance Designer

Overview

We are looking to commission a freelance artist, designer and / or illustrator to create a visually engaging, easy-to-navigate, accessible and informative map of Buckinghamshire’s museums, providing an overall visual identity that:

• Encourages local residents, workers and visitors to discover Buckinghamshire’s museums
• Highlights each museum’s location, key features and accessibility information
• Can be used in both print and digital formats to promote local cultural engagement

Budget

This is a freelance position and the total budget available for this project is £500, including all fees, materials and expenses required to develop print-ready artwork. This fee is based on 2 full day’s work (14 hours) to develop the project. It is funded by Museum Development South East (MDSE), and the Buckinghamshire Museums’ Network will oversee the print and distribution requirements of the project.

Who can apply?

Artists working across all disciplines are invited to apply. We particularly welcome applications by Buckinghamshire-based artists, so please let us know in your cover letter if you live, work, study or have any other connections with the county.
