422 Arts is commissioning a new building front installation to mark the recently completed restoration of our building and invites artists to express their interest in this unique opportunity.
If you are a socially minded artist who already has some experience in creating public art commissions or outdoor installations, and you are passionate about working with local communities in a site-specific context – they would love to hear from you by Sunday 2 July 2023 at 23:59.
This opportunity is open to individual artists or collectives working in any visual medium. Personal knowledge of the area is not a requirement but dedicating time to learn more about our neighbourhood and its people in order to develop your project would be strongly advised.
This opportunity is funded with the support of Arts Council England. Located on one of Manchester’s busiest transportation arteries, your work will be seen by more than 20k people every day!
The project’s budget is £8,000 covering artist fees, materials, production, and installation costs. The final breakdown will be confirmed with the artist according to the specifications of the commissioned work (we recommend a min 20% artist fee).
