Rural Arts are looking for a Sculptor to:
Create a piece of Art that reflects Rural Arts and its values, to sit outside the front of the building. We are open to the material used and the art form. This sculpture needs to be weather resistant, permanant and visible above the front wall.
Work closely with groups that access Rural Arts and its creative offer and with the general public in Thirsk, to understand what the general public want to see.
The approximate sizes of the sculpture that we would like are:
135.5cm x 143cm and 1 to 2 metres high
Once this work is created we would like the Artist to:
Collaborate with the other 4 Artists in Residences who will have worked at The Ritz, Thirsk Community Library and the James Herriot Museum and White Rose Book Cafe, to create an Art Trail for the final event weekend of Bookmarked in April 2027, combining all learnings from the different residencies. This will take into account the thoughts and ideas from the various Groups that have accessed
during these residencies, to then bring it to life to the rest of the Community at the Art Trail.
