This tender is an excellent opportunity for businesses in the art installations, sculpture, and sustainable art fields to participate in a high-profile public art initiative. Suitable candidates would include individual artists, consultancies, and artist collectives with expertise in creating site-specific, eco-friendly artworks that engage the community and contribute to the local identity. With a commitment to the environmental sustainability strategy and a net zero target by 2030, this project seeks innovative approaches that consider the environmental impact, making it ideal for businesses that align with these values and possess creative, interdisciplinary skills. Opportunities exist for further collaboration and partnerships through this initiative, potentially enhancing business visibility and growth in the public artwork sector. ## Notice The Council is seeking Lead Consultant working with an artist or collective of artists, consultants and contractor to design, manufacture and install a series of permanent artworks within Westvale Park's Riverside Green Chain.
