New Geographies is an art commissioning project co-ordinated & produced by 9 organisations from the East Contemporary Visual Art Network. In 2017 members of the public were invited to nominate overlooked and forgotten places, across the 6 counties of the East of England. Then followed an open call for artists to propose a new public artwork inspired by any of the nominated locations. A diverse and exciting group of 10 artists were selected and commissioned. Over the past 3 years we have been working together to realise their ambitious projects, engaging with local artists, residents, schools & communities across the region and further afield. You can see all 270 nominated locations alongside details of each of the ten artists projects at www.newgeographies.uk.
