ARTISTS and creatives across Inverclyde are being invited to participate in a new local film series.

Visual artists, photographers, musicians, dancers, poets or writers are being sought out by CVS Inverclyde for their new 'Digital Open Studios' project.

A small series of films will launch on the third-sector group's YouTube channel and Discover Inverclyde website to show-off the wide and varied range of artforms created in Inverclyde.

Short two-to-three minute clips, created by Tall Tale Films, will showcase a unique insight into local artists and their work.

The series is funded by Creative Scotland.

To participate, you must live and work in the Inverclyde are and be free for filming on July 20 or 21.

Applicants must send in 500 words about themselves, their work and why the opportunity would benefit them by Monday at noon.

An example of work is also required and should be sent to creativeindustries@cvsinverclyde.org.uk
