Artwork Commission

An invitation for expressions of interest to design a permanent outdoor artwork installation in collaboration with students and members of the community at/around a secondary school in Leytonstone. The aim of the project is to promote engagement with the school community post covid and demonstrate the school ethos.

‘We are proud, a family, a community; we are citizens. We work hard together, hands held, challenged to improve, and we improve, every day. We are the future; we shine bright; we are powerful beyond measure.’

The successful artist/designer/architect will:

• Plan and deliver series of workshops including a family drop-in workshop and in-school workshops which involve students in the research, development and design of the space/artwork

• Develop activities/prototypes to test with students

• Create the artwork, oversee fabrication and advise on installation (as necessary), considering safety and durability

The students are interested in artists/designers/makers able to create a design that:

• Creates a visual identity for the space which is representative of and celebrates the school community

• Creates a vibrant and welcoming frontage to the school building

• Is appropriate for all ages and social groups

• Is accessible

• Will be eco-friendly (in both materials and processes)
