Artists/Collectives are encouraged to apply with a proposed concept design for the locations. We do not necessarily expect fully realised designs at this stage but would like to get an idea of what you plan to do, why you plan to do it and your experience in similar public art projects. Full designs will be developed once the artist has been selected and must be approved before work commences.
Your submission will require:
-
Written response to project brief (maximum of 500 words).
-
Design ideas for proposed artwork (digital image: photoshop or sketches); please note you can supply up to three design ideas for each location.
-
Submit between 5 to 10 images that demonstrate your experience and style of work.
-
A description of your involvement in at least one similar project, especially noting previous experience of community engagement
-
Copy of current public liability insurance certification. (Note: submission will be accepted if this is not currently available but will be required prior to signing of the contract if your proposal is selected.)
-
Curriculum vitae and contact details.
-
Two referees contact details, relating to previous projects.
