Art Strategy Released for Consultation

A Draft Public Art Strategy for the Naracoorte Lucindale area has been released for community feedback.

Written to help guide the growth and development of public art in the Council area, the Strategy outlines potential types of art that can be installed and proposed locations for installation across the district.

Over a period of four years, a mix of permanent, temporary and digital installations could be procured, externally funded or co-funded with community across the Council area.

Arts & Cultural Facilitator Jessie Lumb authored the Strategy and is hoping that the community will provide feedback on the document.

“Having a plan for high quality public art not only adds to the vibrancy of our district, but it also represents the diversity in the community and provides a tourism asset for visitors to the area,” she said.

“Over time pieces acquired or developed will come under the key themes of Township Identity and Vibrant Streetscapes, Natural Landscape, Local History, Agriculture and Diversity, so the broad collection reflects what is special about the Naracoorte Lucindale Council area.”

The community is encouraged to make comment and consultation is open until 14 September, with the final Strategy being presented to Council in September.
