Flag Commission Open Call
We are looking to commission an artist who lives or works in Dorset, to create a bold and colourful artwork for our Boscombe Flags Project.
Boscombe Summer flags is an ongoing BEAF Arts placemaking project bringing colour and pride along Boscombe high-street. The project is commissioned by Bournemouth Coastal BID and supported by Boscombe Sovereign Shopping Centre.
For Boscombe Summer Flags 2025 we are looking to commission an artist who lives or works in Dorset, to create a bold and colourful artwork. We are seeking expressions of interest for this commission and are particularly interested in hearing from neurodivergent and disabled artists to coincide with our upcoming Access BEAF Projects. The flag commission will be visible from early summer when we open our exhibition at BAD titled 'You're Not Alone: Women in Art 2025.'
The designs need to be bold, graphic style, visible from a distance and bringing colour to the high street and Sovereign Centre.

The flags will be displayed from June - October 2025
All production fees and materials are paid by Bournemouth Coastal BID. Please note we may ask you for a more detailed proposal before selecting. We will need a final design by 12 May 2025
