SICAD Project Community Fair On the 7 th & 8 th September 2005 Felicity Wright ran a workshop at Bungala Arts and Crafts on marketing and pricing indigenous artwork. This workshop was attended by artists from Port Augusta, Hawker, Copley, Iga Wata, Nepabunna, Marree and Coober Pedy. It was a huge success and there has been some real movement since the workshop, in the Indigenous Arts in Port Augusta. 6. Other programs and promotional activities: - 25 -
Following on from this, more workshops were held in the communities of Port Augusta, Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta in March 2006. The outcomes that the SICAD Project endeavours to achieve is: a) Mapping Indigenous Arts activities and needs; b) Delivering support and resourcing for Aboriginal Artists; c) Networking arts projects and Aboriginal artists around the State. 2. ARID – a sculptural collaboration ARID is well underway for their exhibition planned for 1 September until 6 October 2006. So far the majority of funding has come through; we are just waiting on SATC to confirm either way for their support of the event. Gordon Darling Foundation has committed over $8,000 towards a publication of ARID and SA Water has committed $5,000 towards sponsoring the event. As part of ARID this year we have an artist in residence at the Port Augusta Secondary School, an artist in residence at Baxter Immigration facility, a workshop for Indigenous artists in sculpture, and an artist coming from Adelaide to work with community on a permanent sculpture in the garden. 3. Arid Lands Desert Blooms This project involves art workshops, for clients with artistic ability, being conducted in Port Augusta, Oodndatta and Copley/Nepabunna. The clients have been invited to produce artwork, of any medium (e.g. painting, photography, carving) and have these exhibited through the region and the Fountain Gallery in Port Augusta. The photographs produced by clients will be displayed via a rolling powerpoint presentation as well as individual framed pieces. The workshops will be conducted by an Artist in Residence which will be John Turpie. The end result will now be exhibited at the Fountain Gallery in April 2007. 4. APY Lands Trip A visit was made to the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands with the coordinator of KU ARTS, Mr Colin Koch, Ms Charmaine Wilson (Co-ordinator – Bungala Arts and Crafts) and Jodie Warren (Artist - Bungala Arts and Crafts). We spent 3 nights in the Lands, attended the KU ARTS AGM and met with co-ordinators of the different art centres. It was extremely rewarding for the women from Port Augusta to go to the Lands and see how the Centres are operating and was well worth the trip. 5. Foreshore Poles Consultant, Margaret Worth was in Port Augusta for one week in April 2006 to run the community consultation process for the design of artworks for the top of the foreshore poles. As well as undertaking consultation, Margaret worked with mentoring two local artists, Deb Byron and Lavene Ngatoura in community consultation. All up nine workshops were held covering a wide range of representative ideas and opinions. The workshops produced drawings and notes expressing what people value in Port Augusta. Two public displays were organised one at Woolworths and the other at the Public Library with the opportunity for people to vote about what they felt would be most important to them. A report was prepared by Margaret Worth on the outcome of the consultation process and this will be considered by Council in due course. 6.
