Expressions of Interest Open for New Street Art Mural

The City of Greater Bendigo is calling for expressions of interest from experienced mural and street artists to create new artwork at the Pennyweight Walk Open Air Gallery.

Bendigo Venues & Events Manager Julie Amos said this was an exciting opportunity for a local artist to deliver new vibrant pieces of public art.

“Artists with a passion for colour, place and story are invited to transform Pennyweight Walk into an open-air celebration of creativity in the heart of the city centre between Hargreaves Street and Bath Lane,” Ms Amos said.

“The new murals will be a great addition to the street art scene in Greater Bendigo.”

Each selected artist will create a medium-scale mural, three metres by two metres. There is no specific theme for the project.

Artists will paint directly onto an allocated wall space in Pennyweight Walk and completed works will fill the allocated space.

Work must be painted with brushes and/or a roller. Aerosol is not permitted.

Artists who live in the City of Greater Bendigo are eligible and they must have the appropriate public liability insurance.

Only shortlisted artists will be invited and paid to develop a preliminary concept drawing.

The painting of the chosen murals in Pennyweight Walk will begin on May 16 and are expected to be completed for an official unveiling on May 24.

Artists are encouraged to download and read the full expression of interest before submitting an application by Monday, March 23.
