Instead of just observing art, the Duke Street Community House in Sunshine is inviting people to come and be active participants in it.
For its upcoming interactive exhibition, Collective Art Project, Duke Street wants community members to come along and make their own contributions to the installation exploring the six emotions of; happiness, surprise, anger, fear, disgust and sadness.
The art installation will grow, evolve and be led by the community’s interactions with it, with everyone welcome to come along and all materials provided.
Led by local artist and master of theraputic arts student Augustine Ang, the Collective Art Project is a new innovation for the Duke Street Community House designed to offer an inclusive way for people to get involved in art and creative expression.
Community house manager Emma Price couldn’t be more excited.
“Why shouldn’t art be for everyone, by everyone? Why just look at art, when you can be part of its creation?” said Ms Price of the project.
The local community are invited to immerse themselves in this collaborative art making project from Friday, September 5 to Friday, September 19.
The experience will be open from 9.30am to 3.30pm, Monday to Friday, at the Duke Street Community House, 27 Duke Street Sunshine.
