In our programs we work with community partners to foster new and more productive modes of interaction between contemporary artists and communities and to promote a dialogue between regional, metropolitan, and international perspectives.

For the Rural Utopias residency with Jo Darbyshire in Lake Grace, we have been generously supported by the Lake Grace Contemporary Art Space.

In our programs we work with community partners to foster new and more productive modes of interaction between contemporary artists and communities and to promote a dialogue between regional, metropolitan, and international perspectives.

The Lake Grace Bushcare project will see 3,700 native seedlings planted around the town during the month of June. The plantings follow a Flora Survey of townsite remnant bush by local botanist Anne Rick which recorded 115 plant species. Included in the survey are eight acacia (wattle) species, eight types of melaleuca (paperbarks, honey-myrtles) and ten eucalypts species.
