COMMUNITY PROJECTS

STALE FISH SALAD
In 2008 Inter Urban Arts received funding from Arts Qld to deliver a public art Community Cultural Development project at Pines Lane Elanora Skate Park.
Stale Fish Salad has engaged the local skate community to work on the project and make decisions about the artist who are working on the project as well as what kinds of art will be implemented. Inter Urban Arts is also working closely with council and local community. This project has employed 1 local CCD worker along with an emerging CCD worker, 3 professional artists and 2 local emerging artists. Local Community have been invited to participate in a series of Design Development workshops held at Elanora Skate Park. The artwork is due to be implemented in April 2009.


RECENT PROJECTS

STONER PARK MURAL
Inter Urban Arts were contracted by Gold Coast City council to paint a Graffiti prevention mural in stoner park in Merrimac. Inter Urban Arts worked with Gold Coast City Council and Merrimac Neighbourhood Watch and artists to complete a mural on a basketball rebound wall at Stoner Family Park, Merrimac. The Stoner Family Park mural was inspired by members of the community who have a proud connection with the history of the local area. Through the use of farm animals, local flora and fauna, the mural reflects the area's previous dairy farming activities. Indigenous connections to the land are also recognised by the use of concentric circle dot work. The mural is painted in bright colours to brighten the landscape and promote a feeling of freedom and celebration.
