Commission Description
ā€
We are seeking proposals for a new piece of outdoor artwork which will engage both physically and conceptually with East Quayā€™s unique architecture and coastal location.

We are particularly interested in receiving proposals for artworks which are predominantly painted and made up of sculptural and/or planted elements, reflecting our surrounding environment. We are open to proposals for artworks which animate different facets of the Bridge/Walkway site, from the walls, to the floor, to the open space between either side of the bridge.
