Public Art Advisory Panel
Apply Now: Public Art Advisory Panel 2026 - 2028
Randwick City Council is now inviting expressions of interest for a Public Art Advisory Panel – a group of independent experts who will help shape the future of public art in our city.
We’re looking for individuals with experience in public art, visual art, design, curation, architecture, place-making, arts management, or cultural strategy. Your insights will guide Council in achieving and maintaining a high-quality public art collection that reflects the unique character of Randwick.
Panel appointments will be for a two-year term from 2026 to 2028. Members will be remunerated for their time and contributions.
There are identified opportunities for:
- A First Nations panel member
- A youth panelist
- A First Nations youth panelist
The two youth panellist positions are for young people aged 16 to 25 who have an up and coming appreciation for and interest in public art. They could be a local high school or university student, early-career artist or an engaged resident with a passion for the arts.
We may also occasionally call on specialist panelists for specific projects or topics.

Apply here before midnight, Sunday 30 November 2025.
