To promote art tourism in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and to complement the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Open Studios 2012 event, art4place proposes creating a program of 6 placemaking art initiatives across the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
It is proposed that the overall placemaking event will be known as Sunshine Coast Hinterland Creative Spaces 2012; and will take place around the time of the SCH Open Studios 2012.
It is planned that 6 Creative Spaces placemaking art initiatives would take the following forms:
At this stage the art4place Committee has received and accepted the 6 placemaking proposals from art4place member artists; and has lodged an application for art funding to implement the initiatives.
So it is a case of watch this space.
