Public Art Commission at Chesil House, Madeira Road, Bournemouth
Bournemouth Borough Council, in partnership with Spectrum Housing, is seeking to commission an artist create a 2-dimensional artwork for the external facade of a student accommodation development at Madeira Road in Bournemouth. This commission is being funded through a planning condition for the residential scheme.
Expressions of interest are being invited from artists experienced in creating quality, contemporary artworks in the public realm. They are particularly interested in hearing from local artists. The appointed artist will be expected to have strong partnership-working skills. Community engagement skills are also essential as is the ability to interpret the resulting themes and aspirations and ensure that these inform the final work.
The total budget available for this commission is £15,000.
Deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. on Thursday 9th January 2014.
Interviews will be held on 24th January 2014.
Installation is to be completed by Autumn 2014.
