Mosaics are set to
adorn stobie poles in the southern area of the Barossa following approval of a
community-led art project.
To be auspiced bySouthern Barossa Alliance and piloted in Lyndoch, with Council providing
in-kind support, a small team will be responsible for approving proposed
designs in line with SA Power Networks guidelines.
The Barossa Stobie
Pole Community Art Project comes on the back of the recent successful ‘Reflection Sofas’
initiative. It aims to beautify the area and support social connection and
creativity to enhance wellbeing for participants.
Participation is
open to all interested people, and mosaic artists have expressed interest in
providing support and mentoring, with donations of mosaic materials and
equipment already secured.
The project will
commence in Lyndoch to link public spaces in a consolidated area and achieve
the best placemaking outcomes. The project is also expected to enhance tourism
and strengthen township identity for local residents.
