Congratulations Luke Ramsey!

Congratulations to Luke Ramsey, the City’s new Artist in Residence! The Artist in Residence program aims to ‘keep art in mind’, providing the opportunity for a local artist to work collaboratively with City staff and the community to identify and develop a creative artwork for one or more capital projects over a one-year term.
