Scotland's national theatre is asking new designers and artists to work on its new headquarters in Glasgow.
The National Theatre of Scotland (NTS) is inviting proposals for new headquarters artwork, worth £7000.
The artwork will adorn the foyer of the new National Theatre of Scotland building.
It will be based on the map of Scotland and will be revealed when the new headquarters - in a former warehouse - is completed next summer.
The artwork will also function as a platform to acknowledge the contribution of donors and supporters of the new building, like a traditional donor wall.
The NTS is to create its first permanent headquarters in the former cash and carry facility in the north of Glasgow in a nearly £6m project.
The home - not a theatre, but a base for rehearsal rooms, community drama work, technical, office and costume facilities - is the NTS's first permanent home in its nine year history and will include one of the largest rehearsal rooms in Scotland.
The building has been disused since 2002 and lies in the Speirs Wharf area of Glasgow close to other buildings operated by Scottish Opera, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the cultural hub of the Whisky Bond.
Fund raising for the building is ongoing.
The NTS say that "early commissioning of 'MAP' will enable the National Theatre of Scotland to approach potential donors with a clear indication of how their support for the new building will be recognised and represented."
Artists and designers are invited to submit their proposals by August 15.
Elly Rothnie, director of development at the NTS, said: "We're hoping the brief will attract a wide range of submissions, reflecting the diversity and quality of artistic talent in Scotland and are anticipating receiving some brilliant creative responses to the brief of realising our map of Scotland."
