Swansea Boulevard & Waterfront Connections Public Art Framework
Artist Commission Briefing Opportunity

The City & County of Swansea Council will be advertising an initial series of 4 public art commission opportunities in July 2013 with a total budget of £300,000, as part of the implementation of the Swansea Boulevard & Waterfront Connections Public Art Framework.

Applications for these commissions will need to be submitted through the Council’s e-tendering service.

The City & County of Swansea Council are keen to encourage high quality applications from artists, designers and makers with a critical contemporary practice and so are offering a Free Briefing Session for artists who may be interested in applying for these and future opportunities we’ll be offering through the Public Art Framework.

The Briefing Session will provide a chance to learn more about:

  • Swansea’s Boulevard & Waterfront Connections Projects and Public Art Framework;
  • How to apply for the commissions through the Council’s e-tendering portal;
  • How to tailor your application for success.

The Briefing Session will be held at 10:30–14:30 on Friday 5th July 2013 in The Village Hotel, Langdon Road, Swansea, SA1 8QY.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

To book your place please call the Welsh Government helpline on 03000 6 03000 or click here.

To register for a reminder when the briefs are available, please email: [email protected]

Please note: Artists attending the Briefing Session are under no obligation to apply for any of the commission opportunities and attendance at the Briefing Session is not a prerequisite for submitting an application for one or more of the commission opportunities.
