Competition Description
This open call seeks a Newham-based creative practitioner to design and deliver a permanent public artwork for the pocket park at Hawthorne House in Stratford, London Borough of Newham. The commission prioritises site-specific work reflecting Stratford’s diverse communities and supporting empowerment and local identity.
