EOI - Local Artist Entry Signage

EOI - Local Artist Entry Signage

EXPRESION OF INTEREST – REGIONAL ENTRY SIGNAGE

Gladstone Region Artists are invited to submit their expressions of interest (EOI), to develop concept designs for public artworks to be integrated into existing community entry signage. 

This project aims to enhance community identity and pride, celebrate local stories, and create placemaking at the entrances to Many Peaks, Nagoorin, Builyan and Ubobo. 

GRAGM is committed to fostering the growth and development of our local regional artists. As part of this commitment, this project aims to enhance community identity and pride, celebrate local stories, and create placemaking at township entrances. 

Local Artists are encouraged to respond by developing concept designs for integration into existing signage structures, ensuring designs are suitable for fabrication via laser cutting. Consideration must be given to scale, legibility, and safety. These commissions are intended to reflect local identity, history and cultural connection specific to each community.
