Ma:Mu Canopy Walkway - Innisfail QPWS is calling for Queensland artists to submit expressions of interest to be engaged to develop concept designs for artworks to be included in the Ma:Mu Canopy Walk Innisfail.  The Art Built-in allocation is $112,000.  This is a great opportunity for both local artists and indigenous artists to showcase their artwork or work in conjunction together on a major art project in our town.  I believe most of the art work is for the construction phase outside of the building. You are invited to a meeting at JSC (Edith Street, upstairs in Central Arcade on the deck) to discuss the expression of interest further.  Mr Paul Bikaunieks, Senior Project Officer was been invited to the meeting to answer questions.
