Royal British Society of Sculptors
Applications are now open for FIRST@108 - a unique award designed to offer sculptors an opportunity to extend their practice into competing for public art commissions. The award is open to any artist working in 3 dimensions in any media who has not yet won an open (or closed) competition for a commission to create a work for a public space above the value of £15,000.
The winning sculptor is awarded £10,000 towards the cost of producing two new interlinking public artworks for the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital on the theme of Memory. Over the following six months the fabrication of the winning work is supported by the award and the winner is mentored by a team of experienced professionals - engineers, consultants and artists - to ensure the concept is delivered to the exacting standards required of work to be installed in this unique, high-profile public space. Ownership of artwork remains with the artist to keep or sell following the award period.
