Description

Torbay Council, working in collaboration with Agatha Christie Limited, Torbay Culture at TDA, local communities and creative organisations, is seeking a permanent artwork for the Torquay harbour area. This will be created to be installed as part of the harbour renewal and improvement scheme being developed as part of the Towns Fund investment from government.
o The artwork should capture the spirit of Agatha Christie, her life and work. We are especially keen to see ideas come forwards which consider her 'in the round', as a woman who lived and worked here, who had multiple interests and passions, including the outdoors, nature, people, and places.
o The artwork should consider the needs of the location and audiences - external, open to the elements, and public interaction.
