We have been working with the Department of Engineering at the University of the West of England to commission artist Alice Channer to create her first permanently sited sculpture for their new building.
Field Art Projects have been working with St William and Dallas-Pierce-Quintero to commission an artist to create a major new large-scale work in the heart of Battersea, London.
Artist Commissions for the Bristol Beacon Transformation
Public Art Statement for University of Bristol Temple Quarter Campus
Field Art Projects were appointed in spring 2012 to develop and deliver a public art strategy and programme for the University of Bristol’s residential site at Stoke Bishop, north Bristol. The project culminates with the launch of Sarah Staton’s new work Edith & Hans this week.
Field Art Projects are advising the Design Team for the new Bristol Arena on their art strategy and the art programme being delivered alongside the building.
I’m delighted to announce that the Bristol Beacon has been awarded a Civic Trust Award and a Selwyn Goldsmith Award for Universal Design in recognition of all the different parties, including the artists we worked with, who have contributed to making this such a wonderful and successful building. Since opening the Beacon has welcomed 380,000 audience members through their doors, hosted 726 events, seen over 500 artists perform across their four stages, invested £295,000 in their live music programme and £2 million in their Creative Learning and Engagement programme.
The Civic Trust Awards have become an important platform to recognise the very best in the built environment. Winners are selected on the basis of having demonstrated excellence and innovation in their respective fields and for enriching the physical environment and also helping to create a better sense of place and identity for our communities.
