The Thamesmead Open competition has launched with a £200,000 fund to create art for the area.
It famously stood in for Stanley Kubrick’s bleak vision of the future in A Clockwork Orange but now it’s hoped Thamesmead will inspire a different kind of artistic vision.
Housing Association Peabody has launched the Thamesmead Open competition with a £200,000 fund to create art for the area.
The open call is part of a plan to establish the area, which is expected to gain thousands of new residents in the next 10 years, as a cultural hub.
Adriana Marques, head of cultural strategy for Thamesmead at Peabody, said culture was “an essential part” of making the area better.
She added: “We want people to be proud to call Thamesmead home. A home for culture in our great city.”
The competition winner will be announced in June and the project has to be finished by March 2022.
