EOI: Warrnambool Train Station Mural

The Transporting Arts Pilot Program is revitalising transport hubs across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria in partnership with Metro Trains, Yarra Trams, V/Line and local councils.

The Program aims to enliven the community and passenger experience at tram stops and train stations across Victoria with public art installations.

This initiative aims to create a welcoming environment for commuters and visitors while showcasing the unique local landscape. To achieve this, we are seeking expressions of interest from experienced artists to create a mural that tells the story of Warrnambool’s rich musical history.

Expressions of interest are now being sought from experienced artists to create the mural.

Applicants are required to include a brief written or sketched concept, budget and proposed timeline for the project completion. A panel consisting of WCC officers from the Recreation and Culture team, the Department of Transport and Planning and V/Line will assess all applications. Applicants will be informed of the decision on or before May 9th, 2025. The panel’s decision will be final.

Applications will be assessed on;

• Project able to be completed within budget and an acceptable timeframe,
• Concept alignment with the principles in Council’s Public Art Policy,
• Artist’s experience and capacity to deliver the artwork to a high standard,
• Alignment with the brief / originality of the design,
• How the concept reflects the local community.
