Vote on your preferred artwork to go in Euroa’s Seven Creeks Park

18 Apr 2023

After calling for expressions of interest from artists, community members can choose their favourite artwork to be displayed in Euroa’s Seven Creeks Park.

It comes after extensive consultation with our community around public art.

Council first called for feedback on and adopted its Public Art Policy which was followed by a callout for the community to let us know about the type and location of public art they would like to see.

“We then used this feedback to call on suitably experienced artists to register their expressions of interest to create a freestanding sculptural work for Euroa,” Cr Binks said.

Cr Binks said it was fantastic to see the calibre of expressions received and Council was excited to announce the community could choose from five artwork options.

“We are calling on you to have your say and select your favourite artwork via our online engagement platform Share Strathbogie,” she said.

“Here you can view the five finalists’ impressions along with small descriptions of the artworks.”

Cr Binks said artists were required to address criteria outlined by Council and were inspired by the community’s significant support for bird sculptures.

“But you also told us to mix things up, to surprise you – you wanted us to embrace our region, embrace Taungurung storytelling through art and pay tribute to our history and identity.

“We think the selection of artworks are unique, all of which address the criteria and guidelines set by Council as well as the community’s feedback.”

You can visit https://share.www.strathbogie.vic.gov.au/public-art to view the selection of anonymous artworks and choose your favourite.
