The aim is to use public art to present some aspect of the area’s biodiversity or geodiversity to get people thinking and talking about it. This might include presenting aspects of the Lough’s exceptional marine and terrestrial bio-diversity, geology and tidal system that come together to make the area a fascinating European nature conservation site.

Talking Points will be part of the build-up to a massive celebration event for Strangford Lough in May 2011. At the time of advertisement, the total budget available for this integrated public art project is £6,000. The emphasis is on achieving the greatest impact with the maximum number of local people and visitors and for this reason some key prominent locations have been considered though others may be suggested at the artists’ discretion.

The deadline for receipt of submissions is STRICTLY 4pm, Friday 17th September 2010. Late submissions will not be accepted.
