Tender Details
Tender Description
The City of Melbourne Test Sites program gives artists funding and development opportunities to explore and test their public art idea in our city.
The program focusses on creative development and capacity building for those artists new to exploring public realm and spatial practice and has been designed so research, creative development and professional development happen in tandem over the duration of the program.
Successful applicants will receive practical advice from industry experts, individual support to develop their public art idea and attend face-to-face group workshops with peers over a three-month period.
Program participants will receive funding of $5000 towards costs associated with participating in the program and testing their idea in the public realm. Project proposals produced as part of the program will be considered for further development by the City of Melbourne.
