We are on the hunt for talented street artists!
We are excited to announce the launch of the theatre’s quest to find talented street artists, creative community groups or schools with a creative passion to take part in our exciting £20 million redevelopment project. The Priory Park Mural Project is a unique opportunity for artists to showcase their creativity and imagination while contributing to the conversation on the transformation of Malvern Theatres.
We are inviting local artists and groups with a creative idea to submit suggested designs in order to create a series of large-scale mural paintings, to decorate the site hoardings around Priory Park in Malvern.
“We are searching for designs that celebrate creativity, community, and cultural exchange. We encourage all local artists to step into the redevelopment conversation and be seen by thousands of visitors to Malvern Theatres and Priory Park.”
Fred Moroni, Chief Executive Officer at Malvern Theatres
The project is open until 8th June, when Malvern Theatres in partnership with Malvern Hills District Council, will assess the designs submitted and then announce up to three artworks to be recreated on the hoardings in Priory Park this summer, and for the duration of the project into 2027.
The initiative is open to everyone and includes a bursary of £1,350 per selected artist, group or school for the project to cover materials and artist fees. Installation costs will be met additionally by the theatre.
The initiative is open to everyone and the theatre is encouraging submissions that are unique one-off designs, to create an open-air gallery, using the hoardings as a base for the outdoor artworks.
To enter, simply email mary@malvern-theatres.co.uk with your artistic concept and details about the artist or artists collective, using creativity, community, and cultural exchange as the inspiration for the artwork design. The deadline for all designs is Monday 8th June at 12noon.
