After several months delay due to C19 we are now ready to release our open call to you, the artists!
OPPORTUNITY NOW CLOSED!
So here we go…
There are 16 (Yes, Sixteen!) new commissions on offer here, all with budgets attached. We think this is the largest call out we have ever done and yes, its going to be a logistical challenge. But we cant wait to see all the fantastic proposals come flooding in. And we hope to see a plethora of new names and faces in the inbox.
To give you a flavour though, we are looking for a focus on the circular economy and fun! Yes we think the two can go hand in hand. And because you are artists, you will be great at making this happen in creative, challenging and fab ways.
Very important bit…
Submission deadline: 14 October 2020, 5pm
