Bristol launches an international award for playful art in public space


“We need to see more playfulness in our cities and public spaces,” says Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller in support of a new award launched in Bristol for an artist “who can devise an artwork that embraces openness, playfulness and technology to engage and surprise audiences.” The £30,000 International Playable City Award, which is an initiative of the cross-artform venue and producer Watershed,  has been co-funded by a cluster of creative and technology companies to champion Bristol as a hub for cutting-edge creativity.
