Mural Artist Commission- Our Creative Lives
Building on ‘The Stories of OT to Celebrate’ postcard project delivered in Autumn 2025 as part of Our Creative Lives with Trafford Council, OT creative space is seeking to commission an artist to design and deliver a new public mural celebrating the people, stories, identity, and creativity of Old Trafford.
The original postcard project invited local residents and primary school children to share stories of what they love, value, and celebrate about Old Trafford through drawings, messages, memories, and reflections. The project gathered a rich collection of visual and written responses that captured the diversity, pride, culture, and everyday experiences of the local community.
We are now looking for an artist to creatively respond to this material and transform it into a vibrant and welcoming public artwork.
Application Deadline 14th June 2026
