Job Summary

Bristol City Council are looking for an experienced designer or creative agency to work with us on a visual storytelling commission for the streets of Broadmead in Bristol’s city centre.

Job Description

Focussing on Horsefair and Penn Street; two streets on the cusp of change, we want to develop a bold and imaginative visual identity for the area-one that brings local stories to life in the public realm and sets the scene for Broadmead as 'an inclusive, sustainable and re-connected place for everybody'.

The appointed designer or agency will be supported by the council's Arts Development team to work with local artists, with reference to local businesses, community and stakeholders, and develop a stable of imaginative assets to be used on street dressings over the coming months.

Job Requirements

The commissioned designer or creative agency will be required to research, develop and deliver a strong visual identity for Broadmead in Bristol's city centre. The work should reflect and respond to the cultural and historical context of the area. The designer/ agency will incorporate the work of three local artists into the designs (to be commissioned separately). The final work must be completed within the agreed timeframe and budget.

Job Responsibilities

The successful agency or designer will be responsible for: stakeholder and business engagement as part of research into the local area; selection of artists (along with Bristol City Council); management of artists; digitisation of artists' work; design development, production, and all associated costs.
