ARTIST OPPORTUNITY
Application deadline: 29 February 2012

We are currently looking to commission an artist on behalf of Sustrans Cymru for a public art project adjacent to the Llynfi Valley Cycle Trail and Maesteg Comprehensive School. The project aims to connect users of the trail with the environment of the Llynfi valley.

The site lends itself to the use of natural materials, planting and the possible re-distribution, addition or sculpting of some of the land surface itself. Sustainability and the environment are key aspects of the project and the appointed artist would have these concepts as a primary concern in their own creative practice.

Budget: In the region of £45,000
For a full brief and details please email Walt.

ABOUT US
Formed in 2010, Elbow Room is a cooperative of three creative practitioners dedicated to providing the space, capacity and opportunity to make and experience art in the public realm.

Working primarily with visual artists, communities and private and public sector partners, our focus is to develop creative activity in public spaces through a collaborative, open and engaged approach. We aim to advocate for and forward contemporary practice and thinking in the field of art in the public realm through projects that encourage exploratory approaches to the integration of art into 'everyday life'. We also endeavour to provide development opportunities and support for emerging artists interested in working in the public domain to keep the field fresh, sustainable and progressive.

Elbow Room is based in Wales. We intend to contribute principally to the cultivation and enhancement of the creative environment of Wales but are open to building relationships through project work beyond Wales, particularly where there are possibilities to progress connections between Wales-based creative practitioners and those based elsewhere.

We hope to inspire and create debate by initiating and delivering opportunities, projects, events, talks, seminars, publications and critical writing.

Elbow Room's Co-Directors are Nia Metcalfe, Cinzia Mutigli and Walt Warrilow.
