Heartlands – Transforming derelict mining land into an inspirational and vibrant Cornish cultural landscape
Heartlands is a community-led vision which in 2007 became the only project in England to receive BIG Lottery Living Landmarks funding. The investment of £22 million has been added to by English partnerships and Kerrier District Council. The people of Pool have had their say; development and designs are nearly done, construction begins in January 2009 and ends in April 2010. As part of the Heartlands Delivery Phase there exists exciting new opportunities for up to three artist consultants to become an integrated part of the design team in order to develop innovative and inspiring themes and features which cut across the site. Artists will be expected to work towards the fulfilment of the cultural aspirations for the site ‘to transform Cornwall’s most derelict urban area into a truly inspirational living cultural landscape.’ The artist consultants brief is available on-line from Kerrier District Council’s website, visit http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/ for more information. Deadline for submissions is 14:00 GMT 12th May 2008.
