The OU wishes to commission four artists to celebrate 50 years since Harold Wilson announced his plans for a 'University of the Air'. The OU is using this key date as an opportunity to celebrate OU research and its impact on society today.
In September 1963, Harold Wilson launched the idea of the 'University of the Air' which became The Open University (OU) in 1969.
The OU is launching an innovative arts commission worth up to £20,000 for artists and companies of all media to deliver one of four – one per home nation – art projects around the themes of design and technology, arts and humanities, science and social science.
