Ealing Council is seeking to commission artists to deliver public artwork and art installations in Southall. Funding for this commission is derived from the Government UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). The fund aims to improve pride in place, while increasing life chances, investing in communities, and supporting local business, people and skills.

Southall is situated in the south-west of the borough and comprises six wards: Lady Margaret, Dormers Wells, Southall Broadway, Southall West, Southall Green and Norwood Green. The area is home to approximately 80,500 people, which comprises 21% of the borough’s population, making it the borough’s second largest town. It is also among the most diverse areas in the UK, with 86% of Southall’s population identifying as non-white. Southall is a cultural destination of national importance and is a growing neighbourhood.

As part of The UKSPF Southall Public Art Project we have put together a short survey to hear your ideas, suggestions and feedback. Please visit the link below to complete the survey:

The Deadline for completion of the survey is 12pm on Friday 12th September

Thank you for taking part in our survey and if you have any questions, please email culture@ealing.gov.uk
