Artists from Worcestershire, we need you!
Kidderminster’s Swan Shopping Centre is hosting a
community art project to bring a little bit of colour to the centre. Schools,
colleges and community groups will be invited to take part in a
competition to find four winning designs to decorate its wooden seats.
Budding designers taking part in the competition will
be invited to submit designs based on the theme of the four seasons: Winter,
Spring, Summer and Autumn. The designs could be in any art form, from
traditional to new media, from fine art to graffiti.
The winning designs will be painted on the seats and
that’s where you as an artist can get involved. The centre is looking to
commission artists to replicate the winning designs on to the seats. The
selected artists will be paid £600-£800 per bench depending on the complexity
of the designs involved and materials required.
If you would like to be considered as an artist please
register your interest by emailing the event organisers. Please send your
contact details and some examples of recent artwork to Hannah@onlyonthehighstreet.com.
Rosalyn Darby, Manager at the Swan Centre, said:
“The wooden seats are a favourite facility for many of our shoppers but they
are in need of refurbishment. We thought this would be a great
opportunity for the community of Kidderminster to get involved in a fun and
creative project. It will bring together the local community and showcase
the creativity and flair that the people of Kidderminster have always been
known for.”
Deadline close of business 30th of June
