Forest Lane Park Public Art Commission\u00a0invites artists with the right to work in the UK to submit proposals for a new, permanent artwork that reflects the layered histories of Forest Lane Park in Newham, London. The commission honours the legacy of Lucel Tate, a midwife and community activist, and draws on themes of care, heritage, memory, and renewal. The selected artist will collaborate with the local community, particularly Afro-Caribbean communities, to co-create the artwork, ensuring the park’s uncovered histories are shared with future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commission offers a budget of \u00a337,500 to deliver the project, including artist fees, workshops, fabrication, and travel expenses. Three shortlisted artists will each receive \u00a3500 to support their proposal pitch. The installation will be located in a prominent area of the park, continuing the legacy of the original ‘Guardian’ statue, which was removed due to deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This opportunity provides a platform for artists to engage with the community and contribute to the cultural heritage of Forest Lane Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
