This Park's Alive!

South Gippsland Shire Council is engaging Melbourne-based artist, creative entrepreneur and internationally recognised leader in the field of participative art for children, Jessica Wilson, on a project for South Gippsland Shire called This Park’s Alive!.

This Park’s Alive! is funded by a VicHealth Growing Healthy Communities Grant, proposing a groundbreaking participative art project for South Gippsland that will engage children from 8 to 11 years of age in new ways with their own local parks.
Jessica will be designing a program of participatory creative workshops, along with local artists, in local parks to reimagine these familiar spaces.
The outcomes of these workshops will in turn inform a digital guide for local and visiting children, to be accessed via a QR code to be installed in the parks at the end of the project.

South Gippsland Shire Council is seeking to engage two artists to each co-develop up to two of these interactive digital experiences/artworks. The artists’ project will be created to specific parks and be accessible to children self-served for free via their own (or their adult’s) personal device. The artist’s discipline may include visual arts, music, sound, video, gaming or theatre.
