The Liverpool Plinth 2019

Calling all sculptors in the North of England…

For the second year running, Liverpool BID Company is collaborating with Liverpool Parish Church, also known as St Nick’s, and city gallery and art organisation, dot-art, to bring an exciting new piece of art to The Liverpool Plinth, located at the side of the church overlooking Chapel Street and the city’s UNESCO World Heritage waterfront.

The new piece will replace last year’s winning sculpture, Gold Lamé, by Tony Heaton – a suspended, bright gold car – that has brought smiles to faces for the last 12 months, not to mention making international headlines when it was first unveiled. Gold Lamé was originally commissioned as part of Art of the Lived Experiment for DaDaFest 2014 at the Bluecoat.

The project forms part of one of the pledges in the BID’s business plan for Commercial District BID – to create a Public Art Strategy that will serve to enrich the experience of those visiting and working in the area. The unveiling of the new piece of art is scheduled for spring 2019.
