Commissions North was established within Arts Council England, North East in 1999 to support public art commissioning within capital and regeneration projects.
Commissions North advises a wide range of public and private sector organisations and our work has helped many high quality projects to be successfully realised across the North East.
Commissions North is client focussed and works in partnership to develop new opportunities and artists' commissions that can enhance and develop the region's reputation for public art and creative innovation.
Our services include:
- Project development - Commissions North provides advice, presentations and advocacy to enable clients to consider artists and develop thinking for new commissions.
- Artists - Commission North's Imagebank holds information on a wide range of artists from within the North East and nationally.
- Brokerage - Commissions North brokers new partnerships between clients and artists and provides contact information for arts agencies, curators and project managers in the North East.
- Design Funding - Commissions North is able to offer discretionary grants to enable clients to fund artists' initial proposals and design development.
- Website - The Commissions North website provides a showcase for contemporary public art commissions in the North East of England plus practical advice and information for commission clients.
