Palliative Care Victoria is seeking to commission Victorian Aboriginal and /or Torres Strait Islander artists to create two distinct artworks which will be used in digital and printed resources across Victoria.
Artists are invited to submit an expression of interest for the artwork commission, including examples of past artwork. Following the EOI, the artist will be selected by a panel of the project Steering Group members, PCV CEO and Board Chair, from a de-identified shortlist. The commissioned artist will be supported to produce the artwork and digital reproductions for project use. Palliative Care Victoria will acquire the final artworks for their collection and own the digital rights going forward.
