Outdoor Performance & Art installations EOI

Parramatta Lanes aims to support high-quality, meaningful, interactive, and innovative visual and/or performance-based works that truly engage and affect Lanes attendees. Because of the large geographical footprint and visitor scale, works should visibly standout, capture interest and draw attention. 

We invite expressions of interest from artists and organisations for the presentation of installation and performance works for Parramatta Lanes 2026.

EOIs close Friday 29 May.

Inflatable Artwork Commissions EOI

We’re inviting emerging artists, illustrators and designers who are keen to expand their practice into large‑scale public artworks to submit an EOI. This opportunity is ideal for creatives interested in working at festival scale and exploring inflatable artworks as a new medium.

EOIs close Friday 29 May.
