Expression of Interest
Reuse / Recycle ART on the Civic Green– 25th October, 2014
Warrnambool City Council is calling for expressions of interest from artists who wish to
create artwork based on themes of sustainability and environment. Council would like to
commission an artwork from a selected artist made from litter found along Levy’s Beach.
Warrnambool City Council is participating in The Garage Sale Trail (25/10/14) for the first
time. It is a day when 1000’s of garage sales are held right across Australia. Garage Sale
Trail is all about reuse and reducing waste. It is about considering what and how we
consume but doing it in a fun and social way. Council will be holding a communal sale on the
Civic Green, which is where the creation of the art will take place.
The material for the artwork was collected from Levy’s Beach during Fishcare’s
Beachcombing event on 13th September (see photos Appendix 1). Artists could begin the
artwork prior to the 25th October and finish it off on the day, or if more time is needed
complete the piece after the event. Warrnambool City Council would acquire the piece for
the purpose of using it in the future for education and awareness-raising, about waste
reduction and the impact of litter.
Selection Process
Step 1: From the completed expressions of interest Warrnambool City Council will shortlist
one artist by 17th October.
Step 2: The shortlisted artist will take possession of the materials already collected for the
project and advise Council of the costs of any further materials required to complete the
project, 17th-20th October.
Step 3: Budget for the project is $1,000 for the artwork to be completed (acquisitional). This
does not include the cost of any other materials required to complete the project.
Artists who wish to engage in the Expression of Interest process for this project, should refer
to the selection criteria and submit a signed copy of the expression of interest form,
including your personal details, project idea and supporting materials by
5pm Wednesday 15th October, 2014.
