The Mooroolbark Street Art Project is the Creation of a Public Artworks Collection to Revitalise Mooroolbark. Providing a significant contribution to the process of renewal and revitalisation of our precinct, artists will create works that take into account the concerns, needs and aspirations of our community.
A common theme during our consultation with the community has been the topic of our Indigenous flora and fauna, local to the Mooroolbark area, including extinct, rare, vulnerable and threatened species.
This callout is for Expressions of Interest in the creation of one mural, on the topic of Indigenous Flora & Fauna of Mooroolbark.
The Artist/s will be expected to:
-
Design and create artworks in the township of Mooroolbark, that present positive and empowering stories and inspirations about the local people and place.
-
Consult and engage in regards to the design and content of the artwork.
-
Effectively communicate, consider and work well with diverse populations, with various ideas, needs and perspectives, including small businesses, community groups, all abilities, all ages, multicultural.
-
Create artworks that respond to the Mooroolbark Street Art Project Aims and Objectives http://www.mooroolbark.vic.au/mooroolbark-street-art/
-
Design an artwork that uses responsive design principles to create an integrated and innovative place-based artwork, that considers and engages the local community needs and interests through all stages of its creation.
Mural Design and Delivery Considerations
The artist will design a mural that:
-
Interprets the 'culture' of Mooroolbark to create place-specific and place-responsive Urban Art.
-
Interprets the 'culture' with specific focus on indigenous flora & fauna of Mooroolbark and our past & present connections with the remnant natural ecology of the area to inform art concepts, including now extinct, rare or endangered species.*
-
Incorporate existing plants, architecture and utilities into the design.
* Artists will be provided with resources to assist them with choosing indigenous plants and animals to feature in their concept & design.
