Dayton District Open Space Public Art
The Dayton District Open Space is currently under construction and intended to be completed in 2024. This will be a significant community asset and is proposed to enhance the site with the construction of public art. The City wants to engage with the community regarding themes and aspirations for the District open Space artwork. The artist brief must incorporate themes as identified by the community, and will propose the locations and forms of the artwork for the site.
The survey for this project closed October 9, 2023.
The Public Art at Dayton District Open Space will be fabricated and installed in the 24/25 Financial Year.
The objective of the project is to commission and install public art works across the City.
The purpose of Public Art in the City of Swan is to add to the visual amenity, promote cultural diversity and celebrate Place. A vision of the City’s Strategic Community Plan is to create unique and attractive place areas. Public Art plays a key role in implementing this vision.
A brief will be advertised for any artist to submit an expression of interest. Expressions of interest are then shortlisted by an art selection panel which consists of a community representative, project manager and professional artist.
Based on the ideas provided by the community the most common trends and themes will be included in the brief prepared for potential artists to apply and submit their designs.
