Expression of Interest - The Gateway to Cape York Sculpture Park Lakeland

⁠⁠⁠Cook Shire Council, supported by the Queensland Government through Building Our Regions Fund is seeking designs that represent your community in a sculptural form.
Now is your opportunity to add a public art sculpture to this project that represents your unique community. Visually persuasive public art sculptures, potentially created from recycled materials will be installed on site for the travelling public to view and admire.

Some points:
● This design proposal is open to the art centre, school, individuals and community groups
● There is a fee of $500 for the chosen design
● We are seeking a sculptural design that reflects your community, your country, your clan, your language, your dreaming
● The Gateway to the Cape sculpture park is to inform the visitors about the communities of the Cape and encourage responsible behaviour as people travel through Cape York
● The sculpture park will present up to 15 sculptures
● A panel of community members and the project manager will choose the final concept design. The final design will be developed in consultation with visiting artists
● Artists are invited to consider recycled materials, Cooktown ironwood, rocks
● A visiting artist will workshop the ideas and will support the creation of the work either in community or in their workshop
● The sculpture has to be safe and sturdy enough to survive ten years
