Power of Paint: Southside Seeks Local Artist
Calling all local artists! Southside is looking for a Wandsworth-based artist to help design and deliver a new mural that will turn our West Entrance into a community-curated masterpiece.
As part of our plans to refresh the centre, Southside is looking to commission a local artist to create a mural that will transform the entrance into a vibrant, colourful and welcoming space that reflects and celebrates both Wandsworth and the local community.
We are looking for an artist who resides locally and has lived in Wandsworth for five years minimum and we want to hear all about why you are looking to celebrate this part of Wandsworth, with examples of the links and passion that you have to this place and its people. Shortlisted artists will awarded a payment of £700 and will be encouraged to conduct their own research into the character, soul and vitality of the area. We will ask for proposals that include this research and findings with a breakdown of how it has informed its proposals.
Southside's owners Landsec and Invesco are currently calling for artists to express their interest via email to kate.honey@landsec.com with the subject heading 'Southside Mural Artist'.
The deadline for Expression of Interest is Monday 29th April and shortlisted artists will be invited to create their proposal from Monday 20th May.
Good luck!
