Call for Expressions of Interest – Public Art Project for Westward Ho! in Devon
Torridge District Council invites expressions of interest for a new public art commission in Westward Ho!, a vibrant village on the Atlantic coast within the Northern Devon UNESCO Biosphere.
Please ensure that all the information on this page is read and digested before an Expression of Interest is submitted.
About you
We’re looking for an artist to engage with a growing, multi-generational community shaped by an increase in new housing and seasonal visitors attracted to the two-mile sandy beach and distinctive Pebble Ridge along a key stretch of the South West Coast Path.
Artists from Devon and across the UK are welcome to apply. What matters most is your fit with the brief and selection criteria, and your willingness to spend time with the people and places of Westward Ho! to create work the community can connect with and feel proud of.
Public realm experience would be a strong advantage, especially where work has been developed through high-quality creative engagement. Community involvement in the design process will be essential.
The selected artist will work with Westward Ho!’s community steering group and creative participants to develop an original, site-specific public artwork for the village.
