DIAlogues seminar series

seminar 4 - integrated art

       On 25th March 2009 corporateartcentre director Leanne Pearce spoke to the design industry about the processes & issues involved in integrating art into projects such as hotels, resorts & multi residential developments. (view slideshow images)

Her speech caught the attention of the design professionals who packed the funky 'Street & Garden Furniture Co' warehouse venue in Brisbane's West End. They were particularly interested in more details about the art packages corporateartcentre developed for the Palazzo Versace Hotel on the Gold Coast. Questions came from all over the room about the processes involved in supplying art on such a large-scale project with its unique 'neo-classical' brief.

The first speaker of the night was Christine Murray, Senior Procurement Manager in the Public Art Unit of the Government's Project Services. Christine's talk explained the Department of Public Works' 'Art-Built-In' Policy and illustrated the various public art projects she has undertaken such as the Gabba Stadium, the Old Museum Building and 63 George St Government Offices.

The night ended with the drawing of the lucky door prize (original painting supplied by corporateartcentre). Thank you to all who attended it was a great night!
