open call for outdoor sculpture and installations

We are inviting artists, creatives and collectives to submit expressions of interest for a major new art initiative at CourtX in Southsea.

We are commissioning multiple site-specific sculptures and installations for the Art Trail at CourtX, a newly landscaped area designed to showcase outdoor artwork and offer visitors an engaging, evolving art experience. The gently meandering pathway leads visitors below ground level, creating an unexpected and enveloping route around the trail.

There are 10 designated art locations with grass lawns, and additional opportunities for site-specific commissions integrated into the wider planting and landscaping. The site encourages exploration, offering a mix of open views and more hidden spaces.

The landscaping phase of the project is due to complete in the coming months. Shortlisted artists will be invited to a site visit led by Fine Line Art to gain a deeper understanding of the setting and opportunities available.
