Coldstream Street Infrastructure Artwork designs
Public Art tells the stories of our community and who we are. It is a way of sharing the stories of our region with visitors. Artworks created in collaboration with community build civic pride and help to make a place liveable. The Yamba CID project celebrates our love for our natural environment, our unique bird life, our waterways. The project will share our stories, heritage and culture. Artworks will be reproduced on adhesive vinyl and used to enhance public infrastructure in the Yamba CBD such as an NBN transformer.
We are seeking a number of artists to provide artworks for this project.
