Artist Commission: Health and Wellbeing

Museums share the commitment to improve the health and social wellbeing of individuals though cultural interventions in innovative, enjoyable and sometimes challenging ways. Within our Therapeutic Museums strategic objectives, we aim to increase the number of Leicester residents improving their wellbeing through engagement with collections and arts.

As part of the Health and Wellbeing strand of our Arts Council England funded National Portfolio Organisation activity, an opportunity to develop and deliver an Artist Led Community wellbeing commission is available.

We are looking to commission a creative practitioner to create an exciting, interactive work which engages individuals and communities. The work will be installed and displayed in Leicester Museum and Art Gallery.

The theme of this commission is to celebrate Leicester Museums & Galleries collections and memories of Leicester Museum & Art Gallery, linked to past, present and future engagement and the impact on health and wellbeing.

The budget for the commission is £10,000. More information is available through the webpage link.
