Temporary Mural Call Out

We are invting artists to submit an expression of interest to create a temporary artwork with the potential to engage library visitors. The mural will be installed on two sections of the Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre construction site hoarding and will be visible from the interior of the Payneham Library (Tirkandi), 2 Turner Street Felixstow.

The selected artist(s) will work closely with the Council’s Arts Officer to create an engaging artwork or series of artworks which will remain on the temporary wall for the duration of the Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre major upgrade, for approximately 2 years.

For more information, contact our Arts Officer and download a copy of the Artists Brief for more details.
