Strategic planning
Nicole delivers projects and plans that promote community, economic and cultural development. By engaging with people across community, government and industry, Nicole develops wholistic plans and impactful outcomes. Co-design and collaboration are at the core of her practice.
Working with Keppel Coast Arts Council, Nicole led the development of a strategic business plan for the operation of three new funded gallery spaces. This included consultation with stakeholders to create a collaborative and practical plan owned by community.
Kenilworth Arts
As a facilitator Nicole provides knowledge and experience while leading participants to achieve strategic outcomes. The Kenilworth Arts Council engaged Nicole to develop a new model of delivery for their annual art awards. Co-design with community and the Arts Council formed the backbone of a new plan which provided an inspired vision and practical implementation, into the future.
Public Arts Projects
Maryborough Story Trail
The Maryborough Story explores the magic of Mary Poppins within the building that was the birthplace of the author, P.L Travers.The heritage-listed birthplace has been transformed into The Story Bank – a bank that trades in stories.
"As you cross the threshold, you will enter a world where fantasy and fact intertwine. Tales and yarns, myths and legends, memories and stories – share in their retelling and their creation".
Nicole provided arts strategy and project direction for the creation of interpretive displays in the Maryborough Story Bank.
Community Arts projects
Hervey Bay Regional Gallery
Community Art projects are an exciting way to bring community together to share, connect and create. The creation of a large mosaic artwork for the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery was an exciting way to encourage engagement. Fifty community members participated in making a large abstract wave that was installed at the entrance to the venue.
