The City of Sydney is looking for creative ways to make building sites into places of art and beauty.

The City is calling for Expressions of Interest for Site Works: Creative City hoardings program where successful designs will be re-created as large scale ‘hoardings’ – the temporary structure that wraps and protects a construction site and transforms the unappealing ‘dead space’ into an urban canvas.

We’re looking for 2D printable art and design concepts that are going to inspire, delight or engage the general public and demonstrate artistic excellence,’ said Sasha Baroni, Manager Culture and Creativity at City of Sydney.

The EOI is open to Australian residents only, and the City is interested in concepts from a variety of media. Artists, designers, small collectives of five or less members and anyone with a concept that meets the creative brief are encouraged to apply.

‘We are really looking across as wide a range of artists and designers as we can,’ said Baroni.
