Public Art Commissions - Ballina Commission 1 – Ballina Arts Centre – Budget €20,000 Commission 2 – Ballina Riverside Walkway – Budget €35,000
(Arts & Culture)
Mayo County Council invites artists to develop proposals for two new commissions. The first is for a permanent wall based, suspended or window mounted internal artwork in the foyer of the newly developed Ballina Arts Centre. All artforms will be considered though the outcome is assumed to be permanent.
A second commission is for the new nearby Riverside Walkway. It is envisaged that the artwork for the Walkway will be sculptural due to the nature of the proposed site and the fact that North East Mayo has very few examples of sculptural work.
deadline for all applications is Monday 17th October.
