Seeking Aboriginal Artist
Landcare NSW, under the NSW Landcare Program 2019 - 2023, invites Aboriginal artists from anywhere in NSW to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) concept proposal to produce a commissioned artwork, accompanied by a name and a story, that depicts the theme of "Aboriginal communities and Landcare communities working together for healthy landscapes". LNSW are looking to create a visual brand and title/name to help build the profile of the Program, so it becomes easily recognisable throughout Landcare and Aboriginal communities. Expression of Interest form, including the guidelines can be accessed online here.For further information visit https://landcare.nsw.gov.au/ or email Craig Aspinall or call Craig on 0412 657 333. EOIs close 18th September 2020. |
