Public Art House are calling for submissions from established and emerging artists whose practice is based in Kent. Two artists will be commissioned to make a site specific responses in one of two public houses in Tunbridge Wells, which will be subverted concurrently by an installation of museum objects.  New ways of interpreting the work on display will enhance the experience.

The commission brief asks for a response to any or all of these factors: the building’s fabric or history, the venue’s clientele and /or staff or the locality. In addition, the artists will work with staff at Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery to select objects from their collections that reflect or inspire their work. The new work, together with the museum objects, will be displayed together from September 2011 – February 2012. The commissions represent an exciting opportunity for the artists involved to work in new ways by showing in unprecedented space and to make new connections with Kent physically and theoretically.

Extended deadline for applications Monday 25th July 2011, 12pm. Deadline for submission of works by successful applicants Monday 19th September 2011 with launch and events late September 2011.
