Mid Pennine Arts is co-ordinating a scheme to develop four pieces of public art to be situated in the new health centres in Accrington and are asking professional artists to submit ideas. To get the full detail of all of the briefs and the information that is required to accompany any designs people must download the correct documents on http://www.midpenninearts.org.uk/Liftbriefs.htm

Background.

East Lancashire PCT (Primary Care Trust) is one of two PCTs within East Lancashire. As a health community, East Lancashire is a 2nd wave LIFT (Local Improvement Finance Trust) site.

Hyndburn Borough includes two priority LIFT schemes, which are currently in
development: Paradise Street and Blackburn Road.

The proposal is to ensure that these flag ship, public buildings are centres of excellence for public art and that the internal and external spaces enhance the experiences of staff and visitors.

The Hyndburn Arts for Health LIFT Project has already engaged with local communities during construction to encourage ownership. Using a programme of community based Arts & Health activities to address local health issues and to promote the new centres and the services available.

The Lift project is a scheme to place four new pieces of public art in the two new health centres, two pieces in each one.
Paradise Street is one of the new primary care facilities and will cover 4,500 sqm, over three and a half floors. The Steering group and Mid Pennine Arts (MPA) would like to commission a permanent public art installation/piece, to be installed in the Atrium space which rises three floors through the heart of the building and a permanent public art installation/piece, to be sited within Courtyard 1 outside the new building.

Blackburn Road is the other new primary care facilities and will cover 4,000 sqm.
The Steering group and Mid Pennine Arts would like to commission a permanent public art installation/piece, to be sited within the community square outside the new building and a permanent public art installation/piece, to be sited in the main foyer / waiting area of the new building.

Please be aware of the deadlines on each brief as they are on a very tight schedule.
