CALL: EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FROM ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS & DESIGNERS
Icon for Oldham is a plan to provide a major new public artwork as part of a concerted campaign to raise the profile of the town and enhance its image locally, regionally and nationally. The project will also mark the principal vehicle route into Oldham, once the most important cotton manufacturing town in the world. Oldham is now re asserting its status in the North West Region and intends to restore a real sense of pride of place. The promoters anticipate a budget of £2M - £3M will be needed to achieve these aims. The client team now want to recruit an Artist, Architect, Landscape Architect or Creative Design Team to realise this project and are seeking Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified parties.
We will shortlist up to 5 individuals or teams who will each be paid an Honorarium of £5,000 to develop a technically feasible design proposal with outline implementation costs. Deadline for Submission of Expressions of Interest is the 2 June 2008.
