Open Commissions: Falkirk Town Centre - £1,500 to £3,000

11 May

We are offering a number of commissions for artists and creative practitioners based in Scotland to develop and deliver new work for Falkirk town centre, as part of Falkirk: From Place to Creative Space, delivered by Artlink Central and Falkirk Delivers with support from Creative Scotland.

Commissions are between £1,500 and £3,000 each. We are keeping the brief deliberately open - we want to hear what you are interested in making and why Falkirk is the right place to make it. We welcome proposals across all disciplines and are particularly interested in work with a public-facing element, or proposals that combine visual arts with other art forms.

Priority sites identified through community engagement - we are open to other sites within the town centre boundary.

Proposals should respond to at least one of three programme themes: history and identity, people and connection, or colour and celebration.

There is no interview - decisions are made on the application alone, so please include a visual concept where relevant (sketch, moodboard, or images) with your submission.

Key dates

Brief live: 11 May 2026
Application deadline: 18 June 2026
Successful candidates informed: w/c 23 June 2026
Final Celebration: first half of August 2026
