Artist Commissions

The project revealed a need to raise the profile of existing creative practitioners in the partner localities and spotlight emerging local talent. In particular, it was observed that grassroots creativity would benefit from being brought into a more visible, public sphere, for example through cultural placemaking and public art initiatives.

To address this need, the Creative Industries Cluster Hubs Artist Commissions delivered 12 place-specific commissions (each of £1,000) across the three partner localities (Monmouthshire, Newport and RCT).
