Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is looking for artists, designers, makers, collectives and creative technologists to develop outdoor installations for Glow Wild, its winter lantern and light trail at Wakehurst, its wild botanic garden in Sussex. The theme is 'Out of this world', covering the strange and wonderful in nature, the cosmos, future worlds and dreamscapes.

Individuals, collectives, fabricators, community projects and cross-disciplinary teams at any career stage can apply with a statement or biography, a concept proposal of up to two pages, visuals, an indicative budget, technical and power needs, footprint and timeline. Commissioned artists design, fabricate, deliver and install their work and must follow Kew's contractor health and safety pack.

Commission budgets are £2,000–£5,000 for small works, £5,000–£25,000 for mid-scale works and up to £50,000 for large landmark works, and must cover fees, fabrication, materials, transport, installation and de-installation. Submit proposals by email.
