Porthaven Homes wants to commission an artist to work with Addo and the design team of a new care home in Milton Keynes.  The artist will produce a permanent artwork for the site to improve the landscaping around the Care Home and enhance the well-being and everyday experiences of its residents, staff and visitors.

The artist will undertake a period of research and design development in consultation with the client, their design team and Addo before creating a design for a standalone artwork that responds to the specific context of the care home and the local area.

Individual artists, partnerships, collectives, or studios that meet the brief’s criteria are encouraged to apply.
