Percent for Art Commission: Glenamaddy Community School, Galway
The Board of Management of Glenamaddy Community School, Glenamaddy, Co. Galway wishes to commission a Permanent Outdoor Sculpture which is to be funded by the Department of Education and Skills under the “percent for art scheme”. There is no specific theme for this project. However, we would expect the artist’s submissions to be influenced by the location of the school and the history and location of Glenamaddy town.

The School Percent Arts Scheme Committee wish to use E14,000 of the funding for a separate project. Timescale to be agreed with the chosen artist. However it is planned that the work will be under construction by March 2012 and completed as near to the end of September 2012 as possible. Selection is by a Two-Stage Submission process. Shortlisted candidates will be paid a fee of E400 for a complete proposal submitted at Stage Two.
