Public Art Expression of Interest Form

Council is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from local First Nations artists for a number of permanent public artwork commissions as part of the new Sanctuary Point Public Library scheduled to open in 2024.

There are three public artwork opportunities within the Sanctuary Point Library site: 

  • Freestanding sculpture 
  • Embedded lighting artwork 
  • Sunshades

Before completing an EOI, please take a look at the Public Art - Scoping DocumentEOI Public Art - Information and the Brewster Hjorth Architects' Fly Through Video.
