Tender Description

 Hutt City Council is calling out to local artists, or artists who have a strong connection to Wainuiomata, for expressions of interest in developing two pieces of public art in Wainuiomata. Expressions of Interest close Sunday 21 May.

The two pieces of public art will take the form of:
· A playable sculpture located in the public space on Queens Street in front of the Wainuiomata Neighbourhood Hub.
· A mural for the half Basketball Court (and accompanying backboard) beside the Community Hall.

The project aim is for the mural on the basketball court to be completed by June 2023. The timing for the sculpture is to be negotiated.

In terms of overall outcomes from a Council perspective we are looking for the following:
1. That the sculpture and mural responds.
a. to the Cultural overlay for Wainuiomata,
