The Bush to Beach project is a new initiative for 2010 and
has been developed to connect remote children with the creative process
of sculpture, local school children and the Swell Sculpture Festival.
The aim, to give young people an opportunity that may not have been accessible to them.
The Bush to Beach project will create an opportunity for
‘change’ by introducing two different communities together, using
sculpture as the medium, primary age students in a regional community as
the motivation, nature and the environment as the theme and a strong
community behind it to nourish it.
FROM CLONCURRY TO CURRUMBIN
In September, a group of children from Cloncurry
State School will travel from the north west of Queensland to visit the
exhibition and participate in workshops with Pamela Denise. The 'Curry
Kids' will buddy with local school children to create their own native
bee and share in the experience of the creative process.
The Bush to Beach Program is supported by
Swell Sculpture Festival gratefully acknowledges this tremendous support.
