DMWM From Small to Big Commissioning Handbook

A handbook covering practical advice for designer makers interested in developing their practice towards working on large scale public craft commissions.

 

There are all sorts of ways in which designer makers can be involved in public art and large scale craft commissions. There are an increasing number of opportunities and great potential for artists to be creatively involved in shaping a vision for a new development scheme or working on a large scale public realm commission.

 

Working on large scale commissioning projects can draw on many existing skills of a maker and provide opportunities to expand on these skills in a variety of settings to embrace the role of facilitator, researcher, educator, maker, collaborator.

 

This handbook focuses on practical advice for makers, including information on what makes a good application, artists contracts, expectations of artists and how to manage a project successfully.
