Hey mob!
An awesome opportunity here on campus to put your mark on the campus. NUSA is looking for and Indigenous artist to paint a mural on the NUSA building to commemorate the buildings history as the first autonomous Indigenous space on campus 30 years ago funded with Bi-Centennial money.
If you would like to know more about the brief, payment and the intent of the mural please put an expression of interest in, show us you art style or tell us how you would approach the project.
If not you, share it to deadly mob who would liven up the University of Newcastle with their art.

We have now extended the proposal submission date until Monday 30th September.
