Outdoor Arts Commission: Bringing High Streets to Life

This outdoor arts commission is one of two flagship commissions within the National Commissioning Programme that run across the HAZ Programme from 2020 to 2024, the other flagship project is a photography commission. Historic England is commissioning a new piece of outdoor art that celebrates the high street today. The new artwork will have a significant presence across High Streets HAZ schemes in at least five regions and engage the public as co-creators, participants and audience. The commissioned work may have the potential for more, or all 69, High Streets HAZ schemes to participate in some way.

This flagship project will be a celebratory point within the final year of this major national cultural programme. We want to commission and work with an organisation to create a new piece of outdoor art that surprises and delights people across England. It should help people create unique memories and help them feel connected to the historic environment.
