The commissions aim to spark curiosity and imagination and help create a place where people feel welcomed.
Open Call for Artists!
Lead Artist sought for Wild Spaces public art commission – deadline 28 October 2024.
This is an exciting opportunity for an artist to deliver a participatory programme and temporary artworks that investigate the natural ecologies around the site of the new University of Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus (TQEC), next to Bristol Temple Meads Station.
Wild Spaces is an eighteen-month commission that will take place alongside the construction of the new campus. It will focus on TQEC’s access to the waterfront as a platform for examining the bigger picture of wild spaces across the city.
We are looking for an artist who will find imaginative ways to create a dialogue between people and place, providing new perspectives on the site’s relationship with water and the natural landscape.
