About

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is seeking an experienced and suitably qualified artist to produce a high-quality, permanent figurative sculpture (bust) of Queen Elizabeth II to recognise the late Monarch’s life and service. The bust should be a lifelike, immediately recognisable representation, created in the medium of the artist’s choice and placed on a plinth that will include a plaque with text agreed by the Council; materials, preferred option and final designs must be agreed and signed off by the Council. The memorial will be located within the Palace Chapel, Armagh, and it is proposed that the memorial be officially recognised, which may require approval from the Cabinet Office and could affect any unveiling or inauguration.
