Hi Fran, Just discovered your commission tender today on Axisweb due to update of their website transferring opportunities to new connected community web page. Would it be OK to put in a late application seeing as deadline was 20/11/23. Thanks David
Hello David, thank you so much for your interest in the artist commission. Unfortunately, we have to impose a hard deadline and cannot accept late entry.

Hi, The timescale above says: “8 December 2024: Shortlist of artists will be contacted for interviews”. Shouldn’t that be 2023…?
Thanks Steve – correcting this now. F
The info session on 30th Oct – is it Zoom? There is nothing about it here as far as I can see!
