Art of Common Space

 

Bright Sparks is Gunpowder Park’s unique Research and Development initiative which supports collaborative arts and design led research into the physical and social aspects of public open space in both urban and rural contexts. The 11 curent projects funded over the last three years have been exploring ideas which all impact on our common spaces, from climate change and rising sea levels to increasing accessibility in the development of new public spaces.
