St Ives Bay Line artist's project: artist needed

An exciting new project has been launched by Wessex Trains along the St Erth to St Ives train line. Along with Cornwall Arts Marketing (and funded by Arts and Business), the two organisations would like to commission an artist to produce a Public Art Installation at stations along the line thereby creating 'The Artistic Gateway to St Ives'.

There are a total of 5 stations along this line, all in need of some artistic input. This could range from mosaics and sculpture to installations, graphics etc.

Artists working in a variety of media and methods are asked to submit a portfolio of recent work (in any media), a CV along with an expression of interest and should include the artist's name, address, telephone number and other contact details. Applications are open to artists from Cornwall only.

A shortlist will be created from these submissions and successful applicants will be notified. A full brief will then be sent to the successful applicants and a site visit will be arranged.

Submissions to be received by 7 January 2005. Please send to: Charlie Riley, Cornwall Arts Marketing, Lemon House, Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2LS.

For further information please contact Charlie Riley on: 01872 274427/ or email Charlie@artscornwall.com
