Towong Shire, in partnership with Murray Arts, extends an Invitation to Tender to a suitably qualified individual, business or organisation to design, produce and install a series of 5 large-scale works of public art.
The artwork series will become a significant offering of The Great River Road; an Upper Murray community initiative that will see the Murray River Road from Bellbridge to Khancoban upgraded to become one of Victoria’s iconic touring routes. The fabrication and installation of the artwork series is expected to be delivered within a total budget of $130,000 - $150,000.
For more detail regarding the project, download a detailed Invitation to Tender – Artist Brief from the Murray Arts website. The Great River Road Strategic Plan is available to download from the Towong Shire Council website
