Belco Arts is calling for expressions from interest from artists for two public and community arts projects which will be delivered as part of the build of the new Gungahlin Community and Youth Centre.
About the project
The Gungahlin Community Centre has been developed using a co-design approach with input from key local stakeholders. It is designed to be a place for community to come together, connect and access a wide range of facilities, activities and supports.
Engagement with the local community is a central part of the development of both artworks, creating designs that reflect, represent and celebrate the local community. One work will create an entry statement to the building, utilizing the awnings and high level glass at the front of the centre, while the other will create a feature in the central courtyard through decorative fencing panels, inlays into paths or additions to seating within the courtyard.
For each opportunity, initial expressions of interest will be assessed by a panel made up of Belco Arts staff, and members of the community centre design and construction team. Up to 3 artists will be selected and paid a fee to develop a detailed concept development. Technical specifications and plans will be provided to artists at this stage.
