7th Scape September 2013

7th Scape September 2013

2012 is already into its second month, and planning has begun in earnest for 7th SCAPE in September 2013.

6th SCAPE was undoubtedly the most challenging we have ever delivered. We are proud to have installed and operated five artworks, a fundraising art auction, artist talks, panel discussions and children's workshops. You can view the video that records the extraordinary year below. There were, however, inevitably disappointments along the way for the artists, our team and audience. A number of our key public interfaces were cancelled, and those things which we were unable to deliver - the parade, the visitor hub and much of the planned comprehensive public programme - are now being reassessed for inclusion in 7th SCAPE.

We hit the streets and the internet during 6th SCAPE to find out what people thought of the event, and the overwhelming feedback was that people liked what they saw, but they wanted more artworks, more information and more interaction. All we can say is we wholeheartedly agree and STAY TUNED!!
As part of our long-term commitment to installing art by Christchurch artists in our city, we are providing opportunities for local artists to develop their skills and to be exposed to new creative stimulus. This year sees the launch of the inaugural SCAPE / Artspace Sydney Artist residency; see below for details about how to apply.
I am delighted to announce two new appointments to the SCAPE team, Anna Colthart and Jo Mair. We can already see the very valuable contribution that Anna and Jo are making to SCAPE.

With 2011 behind us, and a new and strengthened team, we look forward to presenting the most engaging SCAPE to date in September 2013.
