Collaboration is at the heart of Rose's creative endeavours. As a regional artist, she recognises that self-starting, motivated artists can group together towards a common outcome - a vibrant and sustainable community. These expansive projects, (both formal or otherwise), enrich and challenge all participants and can be thought provoking, engaging and just FUN! Since 2012, Rose has worked closely with a broard range of individuals, artist groups, organisations and communities. |
creating community connections
|
Community engagement in creative projects can deliver a range of positive outcomes for both artists and participants, from new connections and divergent aesthetics to an expansive commentary on contemporary culture. The artist's latest undertaking - OBJECT Odyssey - calls on individuals in remote and regional communities across Queensland to provide their keepsakes or memory objects as the basis for new artworks for upcoming exhibitions throughout the state. Can you be part of this next project? |
