The 2008 one was excellent – well worth entering if you can.

Invitation to local artists: Tatton Park Biennial 2010
Artists from Cheshire and the North West are invited to take part in Open Competitions as part of Tatton Park Biennial 2010.

Next year sees the return of this remarkable contemporary arts event in Tatton’s gardens.  The inaugural Biennial, which took place in the summer of 2008, saw nearly 30 artists, performers and writers develop new works for Tatton Park, to considerable critical and public acclaim.  Tatton Park Biennial 2010 will take a site-specific theme of ‘Framing Identity’ that explores our association with place.

For 2010, artists will be commissioned in three ways: by curator’s appointment, peer recommendation from leading organisations and via two Open Competitions, engaging artists from Cheshire and the North West.
One competition is open to artists who have recently completed formal training and are either currently living or working in Cheshire or are originally from the county.  The second is open to all artists living or working in the North West.  Artists are invited to apply by developing their own site-specific proposals, based on the 2010 theme and can apply as individuals or as collaborative groups.
