Notice Title

Bespoke Landmark Sculptures at Broughty Ferry and Monifieth

Notice Description

The Council is looking to procure the services of suitably experienced Artists to submit proposals for Public Art to assist with "Placemaking" on the route that will encourage walking, cycling, wheeling and that provide enjoyment, comfort and protection. As part of this there are two significant landmark sculptures to be commissioned. The brief for both sculptures is the same apart from the location where they will be installed - one at The Esplanade, Broughty Ferry, and one at Monifieth. It is a specific requirement for the two sculptures to be unique placemaking pieces and, to accommodate this, each location will be commissioned from a different artist. Since any artist can only be commissioned to produce one sculpture, there will be two separate awards at the end of this procurement process.
