We are offering a £3,000 visual art commission for the creation of an installation / sculpture marking 20 years of artsdepot.

artsdepot will celebrate its 21st Birthday in October 2025 and has embarked upon an ambitious heritage project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. As part of this project, we are offering a £3,000 visual art commission for the creation of a colourful freestanding installation or sculpture to celebrate artsdepot’s birthday, heritage and work in Barnet during an eventful 20 years! The new commission will be unveiled as part of our 20th birthday celebrations, alongside a heritage exhibition.

The 20th anniversary project focuses on artsdepot’s conception and building during a time of transition and how people have contributed to making the organisation what it is.

We are seeking an established, professional, visual artist, with experience working in a community context. Archive materials will be available for the artist to consult and they will work with volunteers and artsdepot staff to develop the piece.

Delivery of the project will take place in July – August with installation in the first week of September.

Keeping in mind artsdepot’s commitment to sustainability, we are looking for a piece that uses repurposed materials that captures the spirit of the venue as a creative home for everyone. The piece will be displayed in our foyer and be the first thing that visitors see on arrival, so will be a main focus of the exhibition.
