Project description
PROJECT will invest in a Lead Artist to join the design team
established by the North and West Belfast Health and Social Services
Trust to create two health and well being centres located in Shankill
and Andersontown. Todd Architects are lead consultants for the Shankill
centre, Penoyre and Prasad are lead consultants for the centre in Andersontown.The
Trust commissioned and recently adopted Best Practice in the Commissioning
of Artists. It employs an Arts Co-ordinator who will advise the selection
of a lead artist and co-ordinate a series of workshops with the design
team in order that the appointed artist has the widest possible creative
scope. The Co-ordinator's role will be to provide support to the appointed
artist, act as his or her liason and contact, organise and timetable
a framework of discussions, design workshops and ëcreative visioning'
with the design team(s) to ensure effective communication across two
capital projects.
