ARTIST EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Sunraysia Community Health Services Artist Expression of Interest:
The Sunraysia Community Health Services Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Committee are seeking the talents of an emerging local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artist to create a unique artwork for our forthcoming Reconciliation Action Plan.
Aim and Scope:
To support our forthcoming Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and reflect this step in our reconciliation journey. The aim of the artwork is to provide visual representation of Sunraysia Community Health Services commitment to reconciliation.
The SCHS Innovate RAP will focus on developing and strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, engaging staff, and our stakeholders in reconciliation, and developing and piloting innovative strategies to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
SCHS’s Innovate RAP will be based around the core pillars of relationships, respect, and opportunities.
We encourage all emerging local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to complete the Expression of Interest (EOI) to create a unique work by 22 March 2024. The successful artist will be recognised and credited in our RAP document, and where possible in all other printed and digital materials.
Brief:
We are seeking an artwork that aligns to the themes and vision outlined above and we would like the artwork to reflect the journey of relationships, respect, and opportunities.
We would also like this artwork to highlight the way Sunraysia Community Health Services works in partnership to enhance the health and wellbeing of our community. Our approach is compassionate, welcoming, nurturing, empowering, and healing.
The artwork will initially be used primarily for the cover of our RAP, throughout the document and within associated resources in printed and digital formats, including Sunraysia Community Health Service’s social media accounts and printed collateral. In the future, this artwork will be applied to other touchpoints to signal reconciliation, welcoming and inclusion for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
