Arboretum seeks ephemeral art installations for June
The Pearl Beach Arboretum committee is seeking expressions of interest for "ephemeral art installations" at the arboretum in June.
An Ephemeral Art Trail, to be promoted as PBeat, is planned for three weeks from the June long weekend, June 12 to 14 June, to the end of the first week of the public school holidays on July 4.
It is proposed to have around 20 ephemeral artworks on display which are inspired by the Arboretum site.
There will be a $500 cash "people's choice" prize.
"The Pearl Beach Arboretum Ephemeral Art Trail aims to create inspiring temporary public art that promotes nature conservation, supports community identity and increases the cultural vibrancy," said committee secretary Ms Mary Knaggs.
Artists are invited to submit expressions of interest online or via post for before April 5.
The selection panel will comprise Arboretum president Ms Victoria Crawford, Pearl Beach artist Ms Marijke Greenway and bushcraft teacher Mr Jake Cassar.
A number of spots in the arboretum will be reserved for local schools or community groups.
Empheral art is defined as being made with materials at hand and left for others to discover. It could also be a performance installation.
