With less than three months to go until work officially gets underway on the multi million pound Heartlands project in Pool, creative professionals are being invited to register an interest in being included in the Heartlands Arts Directory.

The Heartlands Arts Directory will be a resource for the design teams during the construction phase to identify creative practitioners with the right experience, skills and quality of work to be able to deliver the Creative Commissions at Heartlands over the coming months. The Heartlands Arts Directory will also be a valuable resource for the future Heartlands Trust in developing Creative Projects, such as events and workshops, when Heartlands is opens in March 2010.

We are particularly keen to hear from local makers with a contemporary approach with experience of working on creative and innovative public arts projects.
