Throughout the 80s and 90s Tees Valley Arts was one of the largest commissioners of Public Art in the North East, perhaps the whole UK, though documented at the time this activity has never been documented by Tees Valley Arts on our website or in print.
As part of mima’s localism project we’d like to document the history of the public sculpture we’ve delivered and aid mima in documenting public sculpture across the Tees Valley.
We’d really like to be able to contribute to the National Recording Project (NRP) of the Public Monuments & Sculpture Association to ensure that the Tees Valley’s place in our national narrative of Public Art is properly recorded.
How you can help:
- Work through books identifying public sculpture and add them to our website
- Take Photos of identified public sculptures
- Mark public sculptures on our sculpture map
- Update a sculpture’s record on the NRP database
If you’d like to find out more, and/or indeed help out then please get in touch.
