I was browsing an arts website for Derbyshire today to find out what jobs and competitions there are. Here are some links that i thought i should give to the wider art community.

Arts Olmypiad Artists taking the lead will create 12 new works of art in each nation and region of the UK, inspired by the 2012 Games.Artists are being challenged to use the nation as a blank canvas and create 12 inspirational commissions, as part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
The £5.4 million project, 'Artists taking the lead', will award up to £500,000 for each of the 12 works in the most ambitious art prize on offer in the UK. It is being developed by Arts Council England, in partnership with London 2012 and the Arts Councils of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Each new work will reflect the UKs artistic vision and become a creative celebration of the London 2012 Games.
Successful artists, who can submit ideas in any art form, will see their works displayed in iconic and unexpected locations throughout the UK, whether a hillside, beach or public space. This is open for all citizens of the EU but they stress that it is based upon our nation.
