Wyndham council is asking residents to complete a short survey to help shape future public artworks to be installed across the municipality.

The council is developing its 10-year Public Art Plan, with the aim of developing an ambitious, world-class public art program for the coming decade.

Wyndham’s creative city portfolio holder, Cr Marcel Mahfoud, said the council has a “dynamic contemporary public art program that focuses on creative celebration of place, culture, environment and community”.

“Socially inclusive communities are those where public art plays a vital role in contributing to the community,” Cr Mahfoud said.

“Wyndham city values and appreciates art and culture in making our city a vibrant, creative and engaging place to live and work.

“Public art also has enormous potential to attract cultural tourism and can play a vital role in our economic recovery from the impacts of the pandemic and our future growth.”

The short survey seeks to find out what art artwork residents would like to see in Wyndham.

Residents can also upload an image of, video of, or link to their favourite artwork to the survey, which will close on November 11.
