Short Description
a space arts are pleased to announce a new public art project and now invite Expressions of Interest from artists. The project will introduce a series of exciting new works into new high-quality academic accommodation on Hulse Road, Southampton.
The vision is for a series of works to populate a number of open spaces across the development, along with a signature/headline piece towards the front of the site. Collectively, this work will bring a sense of intrigue and enhance the experience of living at Hearth House for its future residents.
