## Description

Through a series of public art commissions in each borough of Tees Valley, inspired by and developed through engagement with the local community, the works will be thematically and visually linked, and form a cohesive trail that connects the boroughs, celebrates local heritage, and enhances visitor appeal (“the Project”).

•Outline a commissioning framework for the public artworks that reflects both the project’s artistic ambitions and its community and heritage objectives.
The Consultant(s) will be expected to work closely with local authority Culture and Planning teams, as well as cultural, heritage and community stakeholders, to ensure the artistic vision is rooted in place, LA priorities & plans, resonates with local identity, and supports high-quality, inclusive creative outcomes.
Phase Two: Delivery (Subject to Funding Approval)
Phase Two will involve the delivery of the full project, including community engagement activities, artist commissions, production and installation of the public artworks and promotion of the pieces as a regional trail.
