Inverness Commission

from Annie Marrs

The residents of Innes Street are looking for an artist to work with their community in redeveloping the underpass at the end of the street.

Innes St grafitti 2008

The projects main focus is to improve the general aesthetic of the underpass while engaging with the local community and users to produce a design which has longevity. It is an important part of the project that the selected artist must engage directly with the community, particularly the residents and young people using the underpass.
At this stage, the New Innes Street Residents Association is looking for expressions of interest from artists who have experience working within a community setting and who enjoy the challenge of working with a variety of people who have a mix of opinions! While you may not have worked in an underpass before, you will have a passion for small to medium scale public work, and will be able to demonstrate your ability to deliver on time and within budget.
There is a fee of £3000 available for this project, with a further £4000 for the underpass.
