We are looking to appoint an artist, creative practitioner or collaborative creative practice who have significant and demonstrable experience of developing and delivering exceptional, ambitious and impactful public art commissions.

This first stage brief is for an initial research stage which develops a concept design and location options for a new permanent public art commission to celebrate the achievements and life of Jennie Lee.

The expectation is this will be a figurative sculptural portrait of Jennie Lee
