The City of Joondalup (the City) is seeking to commission a suitably qualified and experienced artist or artist team to design, fabricate and install a public artwork at Sorrento Beach as part of the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club Facility Redevelopment project scheduled for completion in late-2027.
Following an Expression of Interest (EOI) process, up to three (3) artists or artist teams will be shortlisted to develop respective concept design proposals. Each of the shortlisted artists or artist teams will receive a development fee to develop a concept design proposal. The selected artist or artist team will be responsible for creating a permanent sculptural artwork at the redeveloped site that will sit within the public realm and celebrate the history and future of the area in line with the City’s Public Art Masterplan. The commissioned artwork will play an imperative role in creating a sense of identity, place, history and arrival to the area.
First Nations artists or artist teams, artists from culturally and linguistically diverse groups, and artists with lived experience of disability are encouraged to apply for this opportunity. The completed artwork will be accessioned into the City’s Public Art Collection.
