MAYO County Council, under the Per Cent for Art Scheme, is inviting artists to submit proposals for a public art commission on the new N5 road project.

The deadline for submissions is December 9.

Proposals are welcome from both individuals and collaborative artistic teams.

The purpose of the Per Cent for Art Scheme is to commission artists to create new and ambitious work. Proposed outcomes can be ephemeral, temporary or semi-permanent in nature. In line with the Percent for Art National Guidelines 2004, the commission is open to all art forms.

The commission will focus on the following locations and their communities: Islandeady, Breaffy and Turlough-Parke, with a budget of €22,000 per location. There will be three individual projects to the value of €22,000.
