Artist Commission: Raploch Village Square

28 Apr

Artlink Central, appointed by Stirling Council, is seeking an artist to develop a public artwork or interpretive intervention for Raploch Village Square, Stirling, as part of the Place Based Investment Programme (PBIP).

The appointed artist will develop a site-specific public artwork or interpretive intervention that responds to the character and community of the square; work alongside seating and lighting designers to ensure integration; and engage with local partners, families, and community groups. The commission sits alongside, but is separate from, a War Memorial development also funded through the programme.

This commission forms part of a wider programme delivering coordinated improvements across three Stirling public spaces, with an overall capital budget of approximately £350,000.
