Public art can help express a community’s identity while creating memorable experiences for visitors and residents alike.

Era partnered with Urban Art Projects to deliver community engagement for a landmark public artwork at Launceston’s northern gateway. The project sought to create a welcoming and distinctive statement reflecting the city’s identity and aspirations.

Our team delivered two stages of engagement, gathering community input to shape the artist brief and facilitating public feedback on shortlisted concepts.

Community insights directly informed the selected artwork, Sky Vessels by Katie Stackhouse, helping ensure the final design reflects the values, identity and aspirations of the people it represents.
