An opportunity exists for artists / artist teams to create concepts for a public artwork. Council seeks to engage a South Australian based artist / artist team to develop public art within the Marino Community Hall development and create an identity for the building that reflects the local community and landscape.

This artwork will have a potential budget of $45,000.

Expressions of Interest are due 2:00 PM on 4 October 2022
