CASEY Council is reviewing its Public Arts Policy and is seeking feedback from the community.
As well as being encouraged to attend the council’s Public Art Think Tank on Thursday 10 September, residents are also being urged to complete an online survey and take a quick poll on the subject.
The consultation period will close on 1 October, with all those who get involved entering the draw to win a $100 Westfield voucher.
“The council’s Public Art Program offers a dynamic and varied approach to the use of art to create meaningful places that celebrate our city’s community, heritage, innovation and environment,” Casey mayor Mick Morland said.
“Public art ranges from permanent sculptural works to temporary artistic incursions and digital installations.
“In reviewing our Public Art Policy, the council wants to hear from residents and use their feedback to help us plan for the future development of a public art program for Casey.
“The council wants to gain a better understanding of what public art means to the community, if they feel it contributes to the overall health and well-being of residents and gauge thoughts on current pieces of public art throughout the municipality.
The council’s Public Art Think Tank will be held on Thursday 10 September, from 6pm to 7.30pm, at the Civic Centre, Magid Drive, Narre Warren.
Bookings are essential and can be made by calling the council’s community strengthening department on 9705 5200 by 9 September.
