Overview
Storytellers invites proposals for a new, community-focused artwork that brings people together through shared
experience, creativity, and storytelling. We are seeking an artist or collective to develop an engaging, inclusive
work that incorporates both illumination and sound as integral elements of the piece.

This commission prioritises openness in concept and approach, encouraging innovative responses across
disciplines while maintaining a strong emphasis on community collaboration.

Theme
This commission is inspired by the lost forests of the East Coast and the changing landscapes of East Lindsey,
with a focus on celebrating the heritage and identity of the local area and coastline.
We are interested in how places hold memory-how they change, disappear, reappear, and are reimagined over
time. The submerged forests along the Lincolnshire coast are one starting point, but the theme also extends to
wider ideas of landscape, history, and coastal identity.
We welcome creative responses that treat landscape as fluid rather than fixed. This could include memory,
folklore, environmental change, heritage, or speculative ideas. We are especially interested in storytelling that
connects land, history, and place, while reflecting the character of East Lindsey's coastline.

Artists are encouraged to respond freely using forms of narrative that suit their practice. The emphasis is on
creating space for reflection and imagination, alongside a celebration of local heritage and identity.
Consider how light and sound might suggest presence, absence, and transformation, creating atmospheric and
immersive work that allows audiences to form their own interpretations.
