The successful tenderer will be contracted by Cork City Council on a Contract for Services to deliver the public art scheme from end to end liaising closely with the Tourism and Arts Sections of Cork City Council. The Project Coordinator will manage the research, commissioning, production and installation of five separate art works in line with the project brief and within the parameters of the conditions of the Urban Animation Scheme, as well as National Public Art Guidelines and Cork City Council’s public art policy.
