Artists or design teams are invited to submit proposals for this new and exciting public art commission, with a project value of £21,000.

The work is to be sited within the James Square location of the University of Plymouth campus. This environment has been recently landscaped and provides a large public piazza space, which is one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares for the University.

These themes can be interpreted very broadly and the work can embrace a range of sculptural media and approaches.
