Bracknell Forest Council: Call for expressions of interest: South Hill Park ‘Parks for People’ – sculpture, signage, logo/image design and waymarking
We are looking to commission an artist/artist group to design and develop artistic elements of the restoration of the historic grounds at South Hill Park in Bracknell, Berkshire. The park is in receipt of a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and we are currently undertaking major restoration works which include new footpath systems, stone and iron work, ornamental gardens and tree and shrub management.

As part of this exciting project, artworks or designs are sought for a new image/logo for the park, site specific waymarking system, entrance signage and a sculpture or installation to be set around the grounds.  The total budget is £68,000.  Interested artists/designers are invited to submit proposals to deliver all or any combination of the components of the design brief.

The project is located at:
South Hill Park Arts Centre, Ringmead, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12 7PA
