Description

Job Summary

Ginkgo Projects invites applications from East of England–based artists for a 6–7 month, part-time commission as part of the public art strategy for Chase Farm, Arlesey.

Job Description

This opportunity focuses on Phase 1 of the development: 200 new homes set within an emerging public realm of green corridors, footpaths, play areas, and shared social spaces. The selected artist will develop a series of site-specific interventions that enhance movement, gathering, and everyday experience across the landscape.

Responding to the character of Arlesey - its agricultural roots, brickmaking heritage, and surrounding ecology - the commission offers scope for thoughtful, craft-led work embedded within the fabric of the place.

Commission budget: £25,000 (inclusive of design, fabrication, and installation)

Deadline for proposals: 5pm, Tuesday 5th May 2026
