Description

St Neots Town Council (SNTC) wish to commission an artist or creative team to create a bespoke community art project for St Neots Town Centre.

The Council is inviting Tenders from artists or a creative team that includes at least one artist to engage, devise, consult and implement on a new public art installation or installations for the centre of our town.

The process and resulting artwork must include public engagement and participation, creating a permanent unique attraction/s for our town and its growing community.

Proposals for the art and themes will be led by the work of the appointed artist/creative group, but it may recognise St Neots' history, heritage, geography, communities and/or its future.

Through sensitive development, the artwork will compliment and continue the regeneration work undertaken through the Future High Street Fund, adding vibrancy to our town.

The final location of the artwork will be in the vicinity of one of the areas which are to be enhanced from the fund.

Tenders are welcome from across the creative disciplines and collaborative approaches between artists, creative groups and appropriate delivery partners of their choosing is encouraged.
