Esperance Sculpture Trail | Community Co-Design Workshop @ The Cannery

The Esperance community is invited to this workshop to collaborate with FORM on phase two of the Esperance Sculpture Trail project.

As we move into the next stage of the Esperance Sculpture Trail, we will be working alongside the Esperance community in a series of workshops. Feedback from these facilitated sessions will inform the Public Art Strategy, Artistic Briefs, and subsequently the artworks for the project.

Each 2-hour workshop and brainstorming session will discuss the following details: 

• The scale of the project (linked to both how big and how many artworks). 

• Criteria for suitable locations identified by the community. 

• List of potential locations put forward by the community.

• Artwork procurement rules such as artist type (local, national, international), community input for any mandatory inclusions for participating artists, the role of local artists in the project.

Workshop participants will also come away with a greater understanding of the Esperance Sculpture Trail including the project's background, work to date, governance, and decision-making structure. 

ABOUT THE ESPERANCE SCULPTURE TRAIL

In 2019, the Mt Burdett Foundation was established by Chris Reichstein, owner of Mount Burdett Farm, with a vision to create a vibrant, resilient Esperance community. Before his passing in 2021, Chris had a vision “to create a world class sculpture trail of high quality, unique installations that respond to the dramatic land and seascape of Esperance.” Through his legacy and the support of the Mt Burdett Foundation, not-for-profit arts and cultural organisation FORM Building a State of Creativity is partnering with the project Steering Committee to test this vision with the Esperance community, listen, and collaborate on an outcome that takes this vision as a starting point, and meets community needs and aspirations
