Artistic commission for Perth City Hall Museum

NEW ARTISTIC COMMISSION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY – PERTH

This is an exciting opportunity to create work that tells a vital part of the story of Perth and Scotland, to be placed in a major new museum in the centre of Perth.

The commission is for six large ‘standards’ – or banners / flags that tell six individual stories from the period of the Jacobites through to the Clearances. This is a semi-permanent installation, expected to be in place for five to ten years.

We want this new work to tell new stories about historic events, stories that deserve to be heard and have not been told before.

TIMELINE

The deadline for submissions of interest is June 20th 2022. A shortlisting decision will be made by August 2022 with interviews in October. A final decision will be made in October. The work should be undertaken and completed by December 2023.
