Vertical Screen

Through 2025, local and regional artists are developing vertical window commissions for The Burr on 22 Bridge Street, Berwick upon Tweed.

Creative practitioners will explore the portrait screen format, spanning text, graphics, illustration and video.

On the way to developing their new public artworks, the artists will hold a free Artist’s Lab sharing their thinking.

The first commission will be by Anna Chapman Parker & Lyndsay Mann in June, the next by Uma Breakdown in July.
