| Ephemeral Arts Skills Development Program |

Arts North West sought Expressions of Interest from New England North West artists who wished to strengthen their skills and experience in the field of public art practice by participating in a Public Art Skills Development Project - strengthening their skills and experience in the field of public art practice and gaining professional contacts in the field. Arts North West obtained a Regional Arts Fund Grant via Regional Arts NSW and Regional Arts Australia to engage public art consultant Pamille Berg of Pamille Berg Consulting Pty Ltd in Canberra to supply training, comment, critique and advice to the selected artists at key milestones in this public art skills project. Elements of funding for the project are also being provided by Tamworth Regional Council, the University of New England, and by other sponsors and organisations. This project will consist of the selected artists’ design, design development, fabrication, and installation of temporary site-specific ephemeral sculpture in two specially-selected prominent public locations . Rosalind Warden, Martine Moran, Daryl Albertson, Kylie McNamara, Michael Jarochowicz and Tony Sevil have commenced their involvement with the project by participating in a workshop with Pamille Berg in Tamworth on 29 August. The workshop gave the artists an opportunity to learn about responding to a public art commssion brief. Media Releases:Arts North West seeks artists for Ephemeral Arts Project, August 2008 |
