Sunshine Coast Council is looking for Indigenous artists to create works that connect the region’s libraries.
Councillor David Law said Council wanted to make local First Nations communities and cultures visible.
“Artists identifying as Kabi Kabi or Jinibara are invited to express their interest in designing an artwork that reflects connectedness between libraries, each other and Country,” Cr Law said.
Artists have until Sunday, May 26, to submit Expressions of Interests.
“The selected artist will be awarded a paid commission and the final work will feature across a variety of library promotional materials including library cards, banners, web content and more,” Cr Law said.
“These commissioned artworks will help to connect and showcase our Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country.”
Cr Law said two artists would be shortlisted and invited to submit two concepts each providing an indication of the colour, palette and composition that would be used in the final commission, should the artist be successful.
