Public Art - Ironworks

Ironworkspublicart

An extensive programme of public art has been commissioned at Ironworks to deliver a creative programme of events engaging with the existing community, together with artwork to be installed at Ironworks. The artists commissioned will be delivering a range of talks, walks, workshops and much more in collaboration with local residents over the next few years. The activities and stories collected will inform the design and character of the Ironworks art through a series of creative commissions. If you want to get involved in creative opportunities to help shape and create a vibrant and animated destination, or simply want to find out about this exciting artistic programme, we will be posting further information shortly. Details of the artists who will be working to create exciting new spaces within the development can be found below.
