Wyndham council are partnering with the Public Art Commission and
Greening the Pipeline to commission two permanent public artworks for the
redeveloped Federation Trail.
The Federation Trail is a 23 Kilometre long shared path for cyclists and pedestrians
which follows the heritage-listed main outfall sewer through the western suburbs of
Melbourne.
The first of the commissions is live and open to emerging and established artists or
collectives to propose a permanent public artwork focussing on the cultural aspects
of the site, including a strong emphasis on First Nations histories of place through
interpretation, interaction story-telling and care for country.
The second commission on the East zone of the pipeline will open at the next stage of the project.
A process of shortlisting will take place with two submissions selected to a final stage tender.
Successful applicants at stage one will receive $2500.
Expressions of interest are now open and close on October 27.
