Chichester Canal Public Art Commissions
Public artworks and design led features will be commissioned as part of the redevelopment of Chichester Canal Basin.
Chichester District Council are seeking expressions of interest from visual artists and designer-makers to create a shortlist.
Chichester District Council are particularly interested in hearing from artists with experience of working within the public realm, and perhaps collaborative community based projects, though early career artists looking to extend their practice are also encouraged to apply.
A temporary art project working in collaboration with a local school or youth group will also be commissioned which will not exclude artists working in any medium including 2D, media, film and so on. If you wish to apply for this special project, please mark your application – Temporary.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday 9th December 5pm, and the project is due for completion in June 2009. Shortlisted artists will be contacted by 20th December. A design fee will be paid to each shortlisted artist. There is a budget of £7,000 per commission including materials. If you are interested please submit up to four JPEGS of your work on disc or by email ,with the cost of these works, a CV, and an artists statement.
This project is funded by Chichester District Council in partnership with Terra Firma Ltd, Olivia Stevens and West Sussex County Council
