Read below for a bit of background infoto the project courtesy of St Mary's Corner- but best to come to the Forum and hear for yourself!
Queen Street Riches and Textures is a cultural initiative developed by St Marys Corner Community and Cultural Precinct in 2012. The initiative engages local residents in creative conversations about Queen Street, the main street of St Marys through re-discovering, documenting, creatively expressing and interpreting the street’s past, present and future.
Engagement: Queen Street Riches and Textures is informed by three principles – engagement, mentorship and partnerships. The engagement is one of creative collaborations, social interaction and conversations, between artists and community and people and places.
Mentorship: Each year Queen Street Riches and Textures works with contemporary artists and through a specific artistic medium explores people and place. In each annual project a professional
artist also mentors local emerging artists while creatively engaging with the community.
Partnerships: Queen Street Riches and Textures is constantly extending partnerships with civic,
community, cultural, art and educational agencies, organisations and institutions.
Achievements: Since 2012 the project has achieved great community endorsement and participation of more than 300 local residents, 40 local and metropolitan art students and emerging artists and a number of partners and associates through a building sustainable relationships with regional educational institutions and community organisations.
