Rick Clise in artist team – concept finalist for Public Art commission
One of Adelaide’s largest public art commissions is the Aboriginal & Torres Straight Islander War Memorial to be located at the Torrens Parade Ground., with a budget of $500,000.
Rick was the project leader in an artist team with James Martin, Darren Siwes, and Warrick Keates of WAX Design that was shortlisted for concept development for this memorial. Two other teams were also shortlisted for concept development. Although Rick’s team did not win this project it was a fascinating and valuable experience working with such a committed group of artists and design professionals.
