Community Artist Call Out/Commission Redmond Park, Wexford Commission Fee: €8,000 + €2,000 materials and travel Timeframe: January-October 2025 The Commission Creative Ireland Wexford, Wexford Municipal District and the Environment Department at Wexford County Council welcome proposals from artists and creatives that will work with the community users of the William Redmond Memorial Park (Redmond Park), Wexford, and collaboratively respond through creativity to the role of water there. Proposals should outline plans for the delivery of a climate-resilient and cohesive project that celebrates and reimagines the historical, current and future role of water in the park, and enables the local community to have a deeper connectedness to nature. Consideration will only be given to proposals that:

1. demonstrate high levels of creativity;
2. enable a community-led response;
3. explore nature-first principles.

Artists and creatives from any discipline (e.g. sound, music, theatre, dance, filmmaking, painting, photography, creative writing, sculpting, architecture) are invited to apply. As well as leading and delivering the creative outcomes of the project, artists will be expected to project manage. Some limited support will be available from the Creative Communities Engagement Officer, and the Environment Department. The proposal must detail:

• Your objectives, methods and outcomes for the project;
• Your plans for community engagement;
• Your strategies for a nature-first approach.

A CV must be included as well as pictures and/or other examples of your previous work. #J-18808-Ljbffr
