Printworks Big Art

Printworks Big Art x Wild in Art

To celebrate our upcoming refurbishment project, Printworks are launching a new larger-than-life artwork in our main Pump Yard; Printworks Big Art. Famous event producers Wild in Art, (who brought Bee in the City to Manchester in 2018), are leading this project, and are on the lookout for an artist to develop this amazing new visual public artwork.

The art commission will reflect the objectives of the Printworks’ and Manchester City Council’s Public Art Policy and Strategy, which seeks to ensure the inclusion of artists in the development of the built environment.

The Art Commission offers a fantastic opportunity for a professional artist to design, develop and deliver a permanent public artwork for the site. The Commissioners are looking for a stunning, visually engaging artwork that will light up the public space. This opportunity is open to all artists with links to Greater Manchester and it is an exciting opportunity for an artist to have their work featured as part of a major national development project, which will be seen by millions visitors.

The closing date for Stage 1 proposals is 14th March 2022.
