The Test Sites program helps local artists test and develop their temporary public art ideas by providing practical advice, funding and support to work creatively in public space. The program increases local artists’ capability and confidence to work in the public realm through creative and professional development, support and mentoring, while engaging with the city, its sites and infrastructures as a place for creative expression.
Successful artists receive funding of $5000 towards costs associated with participating in the program and testing a temporary public art idea. Artists participate in a series of collective workshops, receive mentoring and creative producing support and get practical advice to test their idea in the public realm.
