Expressions of interest open for the Geelong Women's Street Art Commission Project

⁠⁠⁠To celebrate International Women’s Day 2022, we (the City of Greater Geelong) are excited to launch a new women-only Street Art commission project.

Women artists working across a diverse range of wall-based media are warmly invited to apply through an Expression of Interest (EOI) process. Artists from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, First Nations artists, LGBTQIA+ artists, artists with disability and artists from diverse backgrounds are actively encouraged to apply.

This commission program is designed to provide opportunities for and advance profile for women artists who wish to create new works within the Geelong CBD, adding to the rich Street Art program within the our Outdoor Art & Heritage Collection.

The total value of this project is $100,000, which will cover the commissioning of works across a range of potential media including but not limited to paint, paste up, and installation works. Temporary interventions and activations may also be considered.

Shortlisted artists will be invited to respond to sites according to the corresponding budget ranges.

• Works under $5000
• Works $5000 - $10,000
• Works $10,000 - $20,000

The final commissioned works will respond to key sites across Geelong's Central Business District (CBD).
