' Through The Porthole' - Animating Spaces Yeppoon

 Conception of 'Through The Porthole'

Picture
Animating Spaces Yeppoon began in mid 2013 with Keppel Coast Arts president Leanne Smith presenting a proposal to Artslink Queensland for an ocean focused theme - " I do love to live beside the sea side'. As with all good art projects this idea developed as time progressed, and by the time we were notified in late 2013 that we had been successful in receiving the Animating Spaces funding the theme had evolved to what was now 'Changing Tides'. Excitement built amongst the Capricorn Coast arts community and when Artslink Coordinator Kerryanne Farrer and filmmaker Harvey Hayes arrived for the strategy and training weekend in late February 2014 things were ready to roll. I felt privileged to be involved in a project with such high quality Queensland artists and professional arts coordinators.

As an ocean loving artist, been given the opportunity to coordinate a public art project in my home town and with a coastal theme was most exciting. After many discussions with my partner Clare Botfield over our morning coffee, 'Through The Porthole' is what evolved. The idea of an 'art trail' with a series of artworks showcasing the pristine beauty of Keppel Bay's coastline in porthole-like vistas seemed perfect on so many levels. The project could involve many local artists, community workshops with students creating their own works and culminate in a permanent outdoor installation as an art trial, potentially becoming a significant cultural tourism icon for the Capricorn Coast. 

…And so the planning began.
