East Suffolk Council in partnership with Kirkley People’s Forum and the Kirkley Pocket Parks Group, a group of community volunteers, is looking to commission an artist to create a community mural at a site on Cleveland Road in Lowestoft.

The artwork will form part of a public art trail ‘A Walk of Art’ covering approximately 10 sites across Lowestoft, not limited to but including: the High Street, London Road North, London Road South and locations in Kirkley Village.

We are principally interested in hearing from Suffolk and Norfolk based visual artists, but applications from outside the region are also welcome.

The artist’s role will be to engage with the Kirkley community to co-create a mural which considers ‘What Kirkley means to me’ and celebrates the local area. We envisage 4 community workshops, these may be open sessions or structured in a school or care home environment; proposals should consider the community involvement. The finished piece will be installed on hoardings and needs to be in a medium which is weatherproof.

Key Dates:

Project submissions should be received by: Midday Monday 5th December

Shortlist notified by: Friday 9th December

Informal interviews: week commencing 12th December

Contract commences: 3rd January for a period of 4 months.
