Artist Expressions of Interest – Mural Artwork Makeover https://www.cumberland.nsw.gov.au/artist-expressions-interest-mural-artwork-makeover
Expressions of Interest are now open
Council will be giving Merrylands and Guildford station pedestrian subway tunnels a makeover with the installation of new mural artworks, designed to revitalise the area.
Council is looking for artists / artist teams to conceive, design and produce a public artwork (murals) for each of the Stations. Local artists including emerging; First Nations; and or culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) artists are strongly encouraged to apply. This Expression of Interest (EOI) is coordinated by Cumberland City Council.
There are two sites for mural artwork designs, as follows:
Commission 1 – Guildford Station
Commission 2 – Merrylands Station
The purpose of the Commissions is to provide a distinctive contemporary public artwork on the ramp walls and tunnel walls and ceiling to enhance the pedestrian experience at each of the Stations. These projects will be seen by commuters every day and as such, will have a lasting effect on locals and visitors.
The themes to guide the murals will be developed alongside the Community via workshops prior to selecting the shortlisted artists. These workshops will be undertaken by Public Art Consultants ARTSCAPE. The shortlisted artists will be provided a thematic framework to use in developing their concepts.
