Calling all aspiring artists who are keen to help brighten a neighbourhood. Once again, we’re seeking expressions of interest from Tasman residents with a talent for art to join our communications cabinet art programme.
In association with telco Chorus, we’re offering an opportunity to use the streetside cabinets as a canvas to showcase art to our local community. Chorus will pay artists for materials used and a contribution toward their time.
The programme is proving invaluable as a way to help promote a sense of community belonging, identity and pride while also helping to discourage anti-social behaviour like tagging.
Two sites in Wakefield have been selected as cabinet canvases along with one each in Ngātīmoti, Tasman Village and Māpua.
Whether you’re a budding Picasso or a creator of Colin McCahon-like landscapes, each cabinet provides a great entry point to display your creative skills.
You can find out more and apply here.(external link) Applications close at the end of August.
