Summary
Bolton Council is seeking to commission up to three professional street artists or graffiti artists to create large-scale murals at key locations across Bolton Town Centre.
Full details
The commissions aim to transform three central sites (Dawes Street Skatepark, Newport Street Arcade, and Back Cheapside) through high-quality public artwork that celebrates Bolton's identity, heritage and future aspirations. The murals, which will developed from September 2026, should contribute positively to the town centre environment, create visual interest, and encourage greater pride in place among residents and visitors. The commissioned artworks will: 1. Enhance the appearance and character of the selected sites. 2. Reflect Bolton's unique identity, history, communities and future ambitions. 3. Create vibrant, welcoming and memorable public spaces. 4. Celebrate the town's creativity, culture and sense of place. 5. Be informed by engagement with key stakeholders, including users of Dawes Street Skatepark where relevant. 6. Demonstrate artistic excellence and suitability for a public environment.
