Tender description
The Council is seeking a professional artist to work with the Mill Road community, local organisations and key stakeholders to develop public art commissions within the Mill Road neighbourhoods. The work will begin with initial engagement and co-creation activities with residents, the wider community and organisations. The artist will respond to ideas, stories and lived experiences, and create work that is relevant and rooted in the identity of Mill Road. The aims of the project are to create a welcoming gateway into Mill Road that celebrates the neighbourhood's diversity, creativity and strong sense of community. The artwork should encourage engagement and footfall, support civic pride, and embed public art into the everyday experience of people moving through the area.
