Upcoming virtual tea breaks (1st and 3rd April)

Tea & Tolerance

1st April at 3.00-4.00pm

The Being Human board game.
The Being Human board game

Join Tea and Tolerance to try out their newly digitised conversation game’. Join them at 3pm on Wednesday to explore being human. The game is designed to bring people together. You can bring a dice if have one.


Money

3rd April at 3.00-4.00pm

This tea break session will take ‘money’ – especially in respect of the current crisis as its theme. We want to continue to review our take and experience of the situation as things emerge and land.

We would like to continue sharing our thoughts on money – what financial support is on offer from the Government and Arts Council England and what this looks like for you, your projects, commissioners, clients and public.

On Friday a member mentioned that to work part-time as a tutor for a Leeds-based university, they are required to take employee status which, when taken as a percentage of their income, could exclude them from accessing other HMRC/Government freelance support. Not great.

Are there any other glitches in the system that are having a direct effect on what moneys you can access or not. And also what could be better.

There are also a number of surveys being drafted that seek to demonstrate short and long term impact of the lock-down on the arts and creative sectors. We could explore some of these research questions to work out whether they could capture our experience as artists. Or will they capture institutional impact only?

Louise Atkinson and Sue Ball will be hosting the tea break with cuppa in hand and hoping to chat with you as Timebank members.

We’ve big plans to help the creatives of Leeds t We’ve big plans to help the creatives of Leeds to make the most of 2021 - but to do that we need a little help getting the right messages out and optimise our chit chat on social media.
 
Experience is welcomed, but not required - the only things you will need are a desire to communicate and a reasonable grasp of English. 

You commit as much or as little as you are able. All your efforts will be reimbursed in Timebank credits. 

Ask questions below or message us here or via the website to find out more...
We’re not just about facilitating time banking - We’re not just about facilitating time banking - we also support our members and the local creative community.

If you are planning something exciting tell us about it and we will aim to support and promote it. We will also be able to suggest how our members might help.

This applies to individuals, collectives, venues and organisations. 

A better creative environment in Leeds is something which is better for all of us.
Welcome to 2021! We just wanted to take a moment, Welcome to 2021!

We just wanted to take a moment, now that the dust has settled on any New Year celebrations to reach out and wish everyone the very best for 2021. 

As a community of creatives we have been hit hard by the various impacts of the pandemic and we’re aware that as we enter a new year many will be having future facing thoughts. If there is anything you’re considering where you need help in any form, please consider using the Timebank!

Whether you’re looking for purely practical help or for help getting the right words, planning the next step or even in identifying what direction to head in - then there’s someone at the Timebank who can help.

We’ll provide some more examples in the coming weeks - but, whatever your need, don’t forget you can turn to the Timebank.

Dear friends, in this challenging financial climat Dear friends, in this challenging financial climate for artists relying on more and more scarce funding to make their work, Open Source Arts is experimenting with creating funding which enables local grassroots artists to get their show on the road so it exists in the world rather than their imaginations. 
Therefore! We are very warmly inviting you to join a fun and social evening with delicious food, great performances and the chance to join our first experimentation into democratic micro granting of the arts in Leeds, using a modified version of the "Soup" model which began in Detroit. 
It's simple, we gather, everyone buys a bowl of delicious soup (with ultra delicious leeds bread Co-OP bread) all the cash goes into the funding pot.  Four artists pitch their ideas to the big group. EVERY GUEST GETS A VOTE!

So we eat together, hear the pitches, have time to chat and then vote. The winner gets the pot to fund their idea. 
This is an experiment and we are excited about the possibilities which these clever microgranting structures hold for, so please be with us and help with our learning as well as enjoying the experience. 6.30pm @ open source arts, this Thursday 16th Jan! 
Pls RSVP if you will come so we can make enough..... SOUP!!! With great gratitude for your company on this journey, phil & all the team at OSA
