About
Council is requesting an Expression of Interest from six suitably qualified creative practitioners interested in conducting teaching workshops at the Bannockburn Library beginning in January and throughout 2024. The Art Series is a continuation of the successful pilot series held in 2023 with six workshops held in the Bannockburn Library space by local artists.

- Practices are innovative and offer new experiences to the community (new materials, techniques or mediums).
- Workshops are suitable for library spaces (eg no spray paints or hazardous materials).
- Workshops to be limited to 10-12 people
This workshop series is a Golden Plains Shire Council and Geelong Regional Library Corporation initiative.
Golden Plains Shire Council will:
- Provide artist fee payment as per the NAVA Code of Conduct Fee Schedule, including travel and materials fee
- Provide a group induction and gathering in January at the library to discuss dates, times, participant numbers and refine workshops.
Bannockburn Library will:
- Liaise and support you in the leadup to the workshop.
- Initiate and manage workshop communications and promotions and promoting your profile.
- Provide suitable spaces for the workshops from each individual artist for promotional materials leading up to each event.
