Mascot Maker or Costume Designer Art Commission

We are looking for a designer to create our new project mascot.

Job Summary

We are currently seeking a skilled Costume Designer for a unique art commission. The chosen candidate will have experience in creating human size mascots. Our renowned Laura I. Art Gallery is embarking on a captivating environmental community project in just 2 months. We are excited to find a talented individual who can bring our mascot, Noah the Planet, to life. Noah is the central figure in our highly successful project, Noah’s Ark, which has garnered an impressive engagement of 50,000 participants both in-person and online. If you possess the necessary skills and creativity, we invite you to join our team and contribute to this exciting venture.

We are seeking a talented individual who has a passion for creating mascots and can work efficiently within deadlines. The mascot must be waterproof and crafted using fabric and potentially foam materials. Timeliness is crucial, as we require the mascot to be completed as soon as possible. Attention to detail is of utmost importance.

The desired shape of the mascot is that of a planet, and despite its substantial width and size, it should be able to fit through standard doors, necessitating its adaptability to being easily squished.

The compensation for this project is £1500, which includes the costs of materials and artist fees. However, we are also actively fundraising to cover the expenses, and there is a possibility for the fee to increase up to £2500.

Applying:

To be considered for the mascot creation project, please submit your portfolio showcasing your previous mascot designs, along with a timeline of your work. We are particularly interested in creative individuals who can provide excellent examples of their mascot creations, and those who can complete the project in a timely manner. Your application must be received by 5pm on Friday, July 21, 2023, and should be sent to info@lauraigallery.com. Please use “Noah the Mascot” as the subject line.
