Description

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council is looking for interested parties to operate the exhibition space in Westover Gardens, Bournemouth - known as the Art and Makers Market. Providing individual pitches at a reasonable cost, for hire where artists, photographers, musicians, crafters, jewellers and other creative pursuits, can sell their goods to visitors. The Art and Makers Market, formerly known as Pine Walk Open Air Art Exhibition, has been open for over 60 years. It was previously owned and operated by BCP Council, with an artist/exhibitor currently managing the daily operations under a management agreement. We are looking to enable the art community and the Westover gardens community to provide this exhibition space going forward for both the operation and maintenance. The anticipated start date of the contract is November 2024. The contract will be for three years with the option to extend annually for a further two years (3+1+1). Therefore, if all extensions were taken the full length of the contract would be for five years.
