Community Art Project, Banksia Woodlands Mural
Request for Proposal

The New Museum Project seeks to engage an artist to create a mural of banksia woodland habitat with a community of young people/children. The mural will be a component of an activated community space in the Life gallery of the New Museum when it opens 2020.

The mural will be the entrance piece for the City Life area of the Life gallery. The mural will welcome visitors into this community space, indicating that City Life is a place for participation, discovery and learning.

The Banksia Woodland Mural Project is a two-component community engagement program.  The first component is a rich learning program focused on Perth’s highly diverse yet threatened banksia woodland habitat, to be designed and delivered by WA Museum staff.

The second component of the project is a community art program.  Informed by the learning program, the outcome of the art program will be to create a mural of a Perth banksia woodland scene for the Life gallery in the New Museum.

We are seeking proposals from qualified artists to work with a group of young people/children to create the mural for long-term display in the New Museum.

Detailed information about the project and instructions on how to submit a proposal can be found in the Request for Proposal document below.
