Local artists encouraged to bring creative visions to life
Some of the most exciting canvases across the Moreton Bay, Noosa, and Sunshine Coast, regions are now available for local artists, with the launch of Unitywater’s new Community Art Program.
Community Art Program. Unitywater invites local professional and emerging artists, along with community groups, to submit expressions of interest to bring their creative vision to life on assets across its network, including pump stations, roadside cabinets and smaller reservoirs.
Joshua Zugajev, Unitywater’s Executive Manager Strategic Engagement, said this program offered a unique opportunity to celebrate and preserve the region’s rich culture, history and natural beauty.
“Anyone who’s seen the stunning artwork already in place on some of our pump stations, reservoirs, and water towers knows that we love art as a great way to connect with and add value to our local community,” he said.
The vibrant murals draw inspiration from the environment, culture and heritage of each community, from Bribie Island’s turtles to Caboolture’s contributions to World War Two.
To get involved, artists and community groups are encouraged to review the Community Art Program’s guidelines and complete an Expression of Interest form.
Submissions close on Friday 25 October 2024, with successful applicants able to access up to $10,000 in funding from Unitywater towards their total project cost.
