Art for the Heart: Byford Health Hub Calls for Local Creatives

15/03/2024

East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) are seeking an experienced community artist to work with high school students in Byford for an exciting project creating artwork and branding for the Byford Health Hub.

The Byford Health Hub (BHH or the ‘Hub’) is a Labour State government 2021 election commitment to bring more health and social services to the area. The Hub is part of a larger Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale plan to make Byford a vibrant and connected urban hub and will be located near the new METRONET station. East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) is delivering the Hub and will operate it once open. The Hub is planned to open in mid-2026.

The purpose of the artwork engagement project with young people in the local Byford area is to help create a Hub environment that is welcoming to the community through art that matters to them. Young people and their families are key future users of the Hub.

The project will create a collection of artworks that reflects what matters to community, created by local young people. The designs will be used to create branding that is clearly identifiable as representing the Hub and can be used by all Hub services. The designs may also be used in the building, for example as wall features or wayfinding.

The Hub team is seeking an artist who is experienced in working with community members and young people to facilitate the creation of art and design in various mediums. The artist will work with students alongside art teachers at the two local high schools over term two, 2024.

A design brief with concepts and local features to consider will be supplied by EMHS to guide the artwork.

Applications close: 5pm Sunday 24 March 2024.
