Public Art Projects in Maidstone
split-site commission linking Greening the Town with Art at the Centre; projects that enhance the experience of the town centre.
Elemental - A Walk of Art
£18K all-inclusive fixed fee
Artists are encouraged to conceive a bold artwork for Maidstone's town centre gyratory road system. Submissions will consider how the artwork could interact with the passing flow of car users and pedestrians and should support the use of environmentally friendly materials and energy resources.
Greening the Town / Art at the Centre
£38K all-inclusive fixed fee
Artists are invited to respond imaginatively to demarcated green areas in Maidstone town centre. Multi-disciplinary, the artwork should engage with the town user, creating an alternative pocket oasis and a different cultural experience.
Both commissions will be looking for inspiring communicators with significant experience of making work in the public realm and developing ideas with local communities.
Deadline for both submissions is Friday 3 February 2006. Selection for both of the above projects will be by design competition, with a fee of £500 for each design proposal.
Individual and joint applications are welcome.
