Animating Spaces Logan: Arts in the Park

The City of Logan is renowned for its culturally diverse and creative communities. The city is home to over 300,000 people from more than 215 different cultural groups.

Animating Spaces Logan: Arts in the Park brought together community members, working with the Logan Art Gallery team and Artslink Queensland, to create a community inspired event to animate Logan River Parklands, Beenleigh, in September 2015. The aim of Animating Spaces in Logan was to listen to the community, find out how and where they wanted to celebrate arts and culture in their city, and increase the professional skills and capabilities of Logan’s creative community leaders.

The project included three major components: ARTS Billboard, a temporary public artwork; Drawn together, a permanent public artwork and related drawing activity; and River Jam, music performances by local bands, ensembles, choirs, theatre troupes and buskers.

QUT was tasked to develop an evaluation report based on stakeholder consultation. Each stakeholder group was targeted with a tailored evaluation survey to ensure the most appropriate and nuanced information was gathered. Animating Spaces Logan: Arts in the Park engaged with a very large number of viewers, raising the profile of the city’s artists and attracting new audiences. The total number of participants was over double the predicted number.
