Expressions of Interest – Live Art for Festival in Inner West Sydney


Street Art Walking has been invited to quote provide artists as entertainment for an event. The festival is held on 8 October from 11:00 until 18:00 with theme of “Art of Communication”. It’s free for community to attend and ran by council.

SAW is keen to hear from artists who can do live art in front of people. They particularly want to offer an interactive experience so artists that can work with people and facilitate group work would also be great.

Ideas:

  • Portrait drawing or painting
  • Live art workshops
  • Interactive Sculpture

There are three live art elements:

  • artists live drawing/painting
  • idea for a interactive sculpture
  • sensory walk in a marquee
  1. Are you interested to share your idea or learn more?
  2. Have you created live art for events before?
  3. Can you facilitate some interactive art?

Key event info:
Date: Sunday 8 October
Time: 11am until 6pm (you will need to arrive earlier to set up before open at 11)

If you can paint all day great! But if you only want to paint for 4 hours, that’s okay too. Outline what time you can be available when you send us your EOI.

Email us (as soon as you can!) with an outline of your idea, examples of work, the duration of your live art performance and what your fee will be. Please include all costs or outline anything else you will require to complete the job.

ARTIST CALL OUT – BURWOOD FESTIVAL INSTALLATION

bf

Expressions of Interest are sought for an artist to paint the wall or create a temporary artwork (chalk or paste-up) to fit with the Burwood Festival theme of 1950’s Rock ‘n’ Roll. Think Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, cadillacs, milk bars, juke box, big skirts, swing dancing, etc…

Burwood Council have installed a new stage in Burwood Park called the Pavilion (photos below) and an opportunity exists for an artist to create an installations on the  giant wall in the middle of the stage for Burwood Festival this year.

The measurements of the wall are 9m x 4m approx. The artwork doesn’t need huge amounts of detail because they will not be visible from far away, with people on the stages, so just large shapes and big designs.
Ideas – for consideration

Side One – a giant jukebox and sofa.

Side Two – a giant neon sign with a padded stool or guitar

Email examples of your previous work and a written idea to Asha.Pomery[at]burwood.nsw.gov.au to be considered. Artists will be notified by COB Wednesday 12 October.
