Frankston Hospital Redevelopment
Call for Expressions of Interest
 

T Projects on behalf of their client, the Victorian Health Building Authority and Exemplar Health, are seeking EOIs for two exciting new First Nations public art commissions for the Frankston Hospital Redevelopment Project (FHR).

​

​

T Projects are inviting Expressions of Interest from First Nations artists to create two artworks which are to be integrated into the design of the wind mitigation shields and external paving for the new hospital:

​

• Four artworks will be represented through laser cut perforations on Corten steel wind mitigation screens located in the grounds around the hospital. Download the project brief here​

​​

• The design of a metallic inlay or inlays will be embedded into the external paving in the Arrivals Garden, which is the First Nations Smoking Ceremony location, the ‘Yarning Circle’. Download the project brief here

These artworks will likely be one of the early elements that patients, families, visitors, and staff notice on arrival at the hospital via pedestrian crossings. It is vital that this artwork be welcoming, inclusive, uplifting and complement the landscape design.

​

Overarching theme

The overarching theme for FHR is ‘Healing Country, Healing People’. Country encompasses all living things, the land, and the waters thus the health of Country is directly linked to the health of people living on it - healing Country, heals people.

​

How to apply

​

Artists are invited to submit EOIs in response to this brief. Submissions will be accepted from 4th to 29th November 2024, no entries will be accepted after this time.

​

Artists should supply the following information via email to victoria@tprojects.co:

​

• up to ten jpegs of past artworks

• a CV

• details of any connection to people or place, if applicable

• Short written summary of why this project is of interest to you, 500 words maximum

Concept design submissions will be reviewed and assessed by the Project Artwork Selection Panel and project curator, T Projects, based on previous work, artist’s profile and connection to Country with one artist for each commission being selected as preferred.
