EOI - Public Art for the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail
Somerset Regional Council is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) by Somerset and South East Queensland artists to deliver public artworks for the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.
The artwork opportunities will form part of Council’s application in The South East Queensland (SEQ) City Deal Public Art Initiatives. Under the Initiative, Council will receive $400,000 for public art commissions within its jurisdiction to be delivered by 31 March 2027.
Artworks commissioned will respond to the project’s curatorial rationale, and reflect the history and character of the region, its unique First Nations heritage, rural nature and landscapes, and the townships and people that define its contemporary character.
Within the project there will be an opportunity to design and deliver both sculptural and two-dimensional artworks for permanent display along the trail.
Council encourages artist at all stages of their practice to apply. Emerging and local artists will be offered the opportunity to be mentored, supported and guided by an established public artist.
EOI submissions due: 11 April 2025 @ 12pm to mail@somerset.qld.gov.au
For more information contact Council’s Arts and Culture Manager via mail@somerset.qld.gov.au or (07) 5424 4000.
The SEQ City Deal Public Art Initiative project is funded by the Australia Government with the support of the Queensland Government and the Council of Mayors SEQ.
