Every Home Public Art Commission

About the Open Call

_Every Home_ is a public art project commissioned by Public Art Matters on behalf of Taylor Wimpey. The commission will be amongst the first in a series of new cultural commissions for the Former Wisley Airfield, a major new housing development in the parish of Ockham, Surrey, which will evolve over the next 13 years. We invite applications from artists, craftspersons and collectives with experience of creating durable outdoor artworks. The commission consists of a new numeral to be displayed outside each new residence in the development. To assist with the selected artist's place-based research, the commission will include engagement with local stakeholders to reflect local context and aspirations. The detailed project brief can be viewed and downloaded. Applicants are required to complete an online Expression of Interest form.
