Apply for a light commission

In partnership with The Maltings (Berwick) and The Living Barracks Project we’re looking to appoint an artist or arts organisation to develop an ambitious new temporary light commission for Berwick Barracks.

Apply by 9am on Monday 5 August 2024.

Size of commission:

£50,000

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for creative and imaginative proposals that interpret the history of Berwick Barracks and Berwick through the use of light, which will engage with local communities and result in a light-based creative outcome at the Barracks in February 2025.

The creative outcome could include digital mapping, community performances, sculpture and installation and could be a one-off event or a work that is in-situ for a specific period of time but must incorporate some element of light.

This list is not exhaustive and at this stage we are looking for creative imaginative proposals that will spark the interest of the selection panel.
