Opportunity: artist commission

Creative Central NCL is supporting a new artistic commission in partnership with The Coach House and HBBE.

The Coach House, a historic brick building near Charlotte Square in Newcastle, is undergoing a creative transformation by architects MawsonKerr. As part of The Late Shows 2025, it will become home to an innovative living bio-sculpture, developed by the HBBE Living Textiles group which will merge knitted textiles and mycelium composite to create a unique, large-scale, immersive installation.

We’re seeking an artist to collaborate with researchers, shaping and responding to this living process through their creative practice. Artists from various disciplines, including installation, music, writing, spoken word, film, light, sound, and visual arts, are encouraged to apply. This is a chance to explore the intersection of art and science, contributing to a groundbreaking piece unveiled during The Late Shows.

We are particularly interested in how an artist(s) will engage with this living process, communicate it, and, of course, ultimately respond with the creation of a new work to be unveiled at The Late Shows. 

Deadline: 10am, Monday 10 March 2025
