Commission

Lead Artist for Fleming Park Public Art

East­leigh Bor­ough Coun­cil is invit­ing sub­mis­sions from Artists to devel­op and deliv­er a Pub­lic Art Com­mis­sion with­in Flem­ing Park.

Eastleigh Borough Council is committed to supporting Public Art as a contributing factor in ‘building strong, vibrant and healthy communities’ (EBC Public Art Strategy).

Fleming Park is an area of parkland and recreation ground located south-west of Eastleigh town centre. This project aims to use funding available to commission a shade-giving structure/s at the Park’s popular paddling pool replacing ‘umbrella’ structures which have reached the end of their life; as part of a wider programme of improvements to the site.
A commission budget of £25,000 is available to the Appointed Artist.

The Council welcomes proposals from across the creative disciplines including interdisciplinary approaches between Artists and collaborators of their choosing.
