This is the first phase of a five-stage process towards the successful integration of artists and artworks into the new Community School of Auchterarder. Phase 1 is concerned with involving artists at the earliest stages of the design and implementation of the new school. A small team of artists worked closely with the design team, the school and the community to develop proposals and influence the design of the school and its surrounding spaces.

The public art agency PACE has worked with this project throughout all five phases providing a continuity in the collaboration of artists with the architects, landscape architects, the school and community.

Consultation & Commissioning Process

Artists devised workshops with pupils as part of the initial consultation process.
