Taylor Wimpey plc wish to appoint an artist to design and create a series of artworks for a new housing development at Pencoedtre Lane in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan. Taylor Wimpey are one of the largest homebuilders in the UK, operating from 24 regional offices across England, Scotland and Wales.
The Pencoedtre Lane housing development is located between Pencoedtre Road and Port Road East on the outskirts of Barry, and will consist of 67 new homes as well as a new playground over an area of 81,480 square feet. This is an exciting opportunity to make a creative and distinctive mark on a contemporary new housing scheme.
As described above, sites have been identified and the possibilities of the commission are twofold: to create entrance features, and to create artworks for the playground railings. Although there is no set theme or subject for the railings, it would be an advantage for the project if the artist were to explore themes and imagery with pupils of the nearby comprehensive school and local primary school.
The commission budget is £52,000 +vat (to include all artist's fees, materials, labour, fabrication, delivery, site preparation, and installation).
Deadline for applications: Thursday 9th February 2012
Due to the short timescale for the design phase, we will short-list immediately after this deadline, therefore no late applications will be accepted.
