Council has announced a public art commission for Berninneit, to "celebrate the region's unique cultural heritage", with Expressions of Interest open until September 15.
Bass Coast Shire Council is asking artists to submit their ideas for a major public artwork for the new cultural centre in Cowes.
Last week, Expressions of Interest (EOI) opened for a significant public art commission at Berninneit.
Council said the public art commission aims to "celebrate the region's unique cultural heritage and foster community engagement by creating an integrated artwork that will become a focal point of this vibrant new venue".
In announcing the commission, council described the project as "a dynamic and inclusive process, bringing together local residents and communities in a collaborative effort to create a work of art that reflects the rich character of the Bass Coast region, the Island, and the cultural centre itself".
"The commissioned artwork will enhance the cultural centre's significance as a gathering place for all," the council stated.
Applications close at midnight on Sunday, September 15 and shortlisted applicants will be invited for an on-site interview.
The outcome of the EOI process will be announced in November 2025.
