Public Art Commission: 220 Blackfriars Road
Southwark Charities
You should apply if you’re an artist, designer or maker at any career stage who can create permanent public work in London.
About
Southwark Charities, an almshouse charity founded in 1717, seeks expressions of interest for a major public artwork at 220 Blackfriars Road, a new 14-storey affordable almshouse opening in early 2029. The work will sit in a public garden of about 12 by 12 metres at Nicholson Street and Chancel Street and act as the public face of the building. The brief is open on form and medium: stone, paving, lighting, text, ceramics, seating or anything else. Up to five shortlisted artists will be paid to develop full proposals and present them to the trustees and residents. Expressions of interest go by email to the charity, following the downloadable brief.
Eligibility
Artists, designers, makers and interdisciplinary teams at any career stage; practitioners with connections to Southwark are especially welcome.
