Grant proposal wins funding
Monday, March 15th, 2010In January I assisted Narbethong Special School in writing a grant proposal to Arts Quensland as part of the Art Built-In scheme.
We have been told that the school has been successful in receiving the funding. The money will be used to create artworks in the corridors and places around the school for the students to engage with.
Narbethong educates and supports children with vision impairments and a broad range of other disabilities. The art will define ‘places’ within the school environment, appealing to the students kinesthetic, olfactory, auditory and tactile senses. The works will be designed to encourage students to develop fine and gross motor skills, develop orientation and mobility skills, and language and communication skills.
It will be an exciting and challenging project to work on. The project will be completed by the beginning of 2011.
