St Helens Library Service
Free to Apply
Closing: 20th February 2026
St Helens Library Service invites artists and creatives to apply for three £3,000 commissions (£9,000 total fund) to create original, site-specific works for Moss Bank Library, Thatto Heath Library, and Eccleston Library. Each commission is worth £3,000 inclusive of material budget, with works remaining as semi-permanent fixtures for a minimum 12-month period.
Open to artists/creatives working in any visual, textual, sculptural, or other form who are living in or connected to St Helens Borough. St Helens particularly encourages applications from global majority, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and/or working-class people underrepresented in the Arts. Artists should be open to projects being shaped by engagement with library staff, building heritage, and service users.
