Creative Bay of Plenty is working with Keep New Zealand Beautiful and Chorus to get some beautiful art onto Tauranga’s telecommunications cabinets as part of the ‘Paint Your Cabinet Beautiful’ campaign.
This is an opportunity for four local artists to paint a cabinet each this March, with possibly more to come later this year (and then hopefully including the whole Western Bay). The Breeze Tauranga did a great job in helping us find a common theme for all cabinets that ties in with our region.
We are proud to announce the winning theme is ‘Our Places and Faces’. All artwork submissions must somehow relate to this theme – by depicting someone well-known from Tauranga, or a historically or otherwise significant place in our city.
Interested artists are able to choose a cabinet of their linking (see map and address details under downloads). Chorus will pay the artist, fees range between $400 and $1,500 depending on the size of the cabinet. Paint supplies are paid for and all other materials will be supplied as well.
