Welcome Roundabout Public Art Commission

About the Open Call

Welcome Roundabout 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 and collectives with experience of creating outdoor sculpture in the public realm. To assist with the selected artist's place-based research, the commission will include engagement with local stakeholders to reflect local context and aspirations. Below is the detailed project brief, and further down the page is an online form for expressing an interest in the project.
