Commission Opportunity - The Open Market in Brighton
Deadline: June 27, 2016, 5:00 pm
Brighton Digital Festival has partnered with Brighton and Hove City Council to create a £15,000 commission for an artist or established group to create a new work for The Open Market in Brighton. The work must have a physical presence at or close to The Open Market alongside any online manifestation.
The Site
The Open Market is sited just off London Road in Brighton. With a history dating back to the 1880s, The Open Market we see today is the result of a major redevelopment, completed in 2014. The market is home to 45 permanent market stalls, a new covered market square for visiting markets, temporary stalls, community activities, street art and entertainment, 12 small workshops for arts and crafts people and affordable housing units.
The market has a strong focus on fresh nutritious foods and ethical products, with a range of traditional market stalls - butcher, fishmonger, eggs, fruit and veg; as well as cafes, art, crafts, fashions, antiques, haberdashery, tools, garden goods and more.
