Sandhurst Block Facade Commission

Whitehill & Bordon Regeneration Company are building a vibrant and rich town on the former Army barracks at Bordon. A key phase of the transformational project is now beginning with the development of the heart and focal point of the community – the new town centre. Regeneration of the Sandhurst Block is the last phase of the town centre development and will start in approximately 3 years, when some of the building will be demolished but a significant element of the building – the ‘H’ block at its heart – will remain as it is.

This is an opportunity to introduce public art to dress the five visible frontages. 

The key elements of the commission include:

  • Prepare a proposal with costs which demonstrate a deliverable approach
  • Undertake community engagement to shape proposals
  • Prepare material for planning construction consents if required
  • Fabricate the piece

Artist Expression of Interest should include:

  • A statement on your interest in the opportunity
  • A statement of creative practice
  • Experience and track record of delivering public art of relevance to the brief
  • CV
  • Up to 6 images of previous artwork/ e
  • URLS or links to other media
  • Outline proposals for the brief

The total budget for the commission is £60,000.

This fee should cover all expenses – inc. artist fee, research, production of designs, site visits, making/ fabrication, technical / professional consultancy or input, materials, production, delivery of artworks and installation. Should planning permission be required, this will be paid for by WBRC.
