Could you create an inspiring bus shelter?

The council is hoping to transform the appearance of the bus shelter into a welcoming public space. The theme for this bus stop installation is ‘Jubilee Celebrations of Cam’.

Cam has four stone bus stops, and the first for a magical make-over is the bus stop on the High Street (What3words: ///advantage.boot.posting).

Concept & Vision:

• Develop a clear artistic vision for the ‘Jubilee’ theme for the installation.

• It could be a collaboration between artists or by a local community group(s) or an individual endeavour.

Fee and Costs:

£700 artist fee

£250 available for Materials (negotiable)

Timescale:

Applications to be received by 7th April 2025

Design & Materials:

Choose durable and weather-resistant materials suitable for outdoor installation. Protect it (as much as is possible) against graffiti.

Ideally the installation will require no ongoing maintenance. If it may then please provide a maintenance plan to keep the installation in good condition.

If you wish, you can incorporate signage or plaques that explain the artwork's significance, artist information, and any relevant historical or cultural context.

Safety and Accessibility:

Ensure that the installation does not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
