Park424 is a community inclusive sculpture garden at Angered Centrum that’s built by rotating artists-inresidence who engage with community stakeholders to create relevant art inspired by those interactions. Park424 is located in the outskirts of the centre of Angered just outside to the new sport facilities. It is surrounded by Stråket, Angered high school, the future hospital, residential areas, local businesses and abundant nature. Park424 will become a central meeting place for the community to talk about their lives and dream about the future. Together with the 424Lab, projects that are run by the artists-in-residence, new sculptures and workshops will be developed each year, were the park can grow mutually with the city of Angered. In the future, Park 424 will tell the story of Angered and it will become a place, which the people of Angered are proud of.
Residents can expand their living rooms to Park424. The park will facilitate opportunities for meetings and social events. The diverse use of the park will make it a lively and safe spot for everyone in the community.

Community Stakeholders
Dream Chairs
Seating and lighting add safety and invite people into an empty park. Dream chairs will mark the future site of sculptures and allow residents and artists to sit in its place and dream about what it could be.
424Lab is an on-site studio where artists-in-residence can work transparently, and interface with Angered to create art that is inclusive and relevant to the area. Lab424 is a scholarship programme, which will provide the foundation for one artist or a group of artists to work in collaboration with the Angered community for a set time. The programme will be conducted through an art residency, where the artist lives and works on site in Angered in close connection with the community. By working with different stakeholders in the surrounding areas, the end result will be inspired and influenced by the community itself.
