<br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Woollahra Council is currently embarking on a program to enhance and revitalise the Double Bay business centre.</font><font size="4" face="Times"> The Double Bay business centre is one of Sydney’s premier shopping centres. The Council wishes to commission a piece of public artwork to act as the centre’s gateway with a sophisticated appearance synonymous with Double Bay’s prestigious reputation, and invites expressions of interest from artists and designers who would like to participate in this exciting project.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Woollahra Council has in recent years established the very successful annual Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize, and in 2006 adopted a policy to encourage the development of public art in the Municipality. </font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Times">The gateway treatment is part of the public domain improvement works for Double Bay. The improvements also include new granite stone pavers to be laid throughout the business centre and installation of multi function streetlight / banner poles along New South Head Road. </font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The artwork is to be of a scale relevant to the site and is to be visible day and night. A maximum extent for the works of 17.5m wide by 1.2m deep and 13.5 m high is proposed.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Total budget is $100, 000 which includes artist premium payments, materials and installation.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Closing date for expressions of interest is 8 April 2008.</font><br>
