The artist will need to create 16 innovative rest stops using standard oak sleeper benches as a base and features that could adorn, surround, or be attached. This will involve a series of community workshops to develop designs for the artist to produce, or support the community to solely create them, or a mix.
(Benches purchased separately to artists fee)
The successful artist / maker will also collaborate with a digital artist. Each rest stop will feature interactive QR code content, whereby the trails will offer multi- experiences in one eg a mental health trail / a nature / heritage / physical activity.
The digital experiences will then be placed on the Cannock Chase Can app, for the public to follow using the rest stops as their way-markers and cross marketed via www.chaseFit.co.uk
For further information on the project please see the attached artist brief.
