45 Keepers. 4 communities. 7 years. 1000's of Sunshine Coast stories. Help us create a permanent digital home for the Keeper Project.

About

For more than 24 years, Red Chair has worked alongside independent artists and communities to bring new work to life. At the heart of our work is connection: between artists and audiences, between creative practice and place, and between people coming together to share live experiences. The Keeper Project is a long-form, socially engaged public art project that unfolds in everyday spaces, inviting communities to see their surroundings in new ways. The project places local artists into a temporary role as “Keepers” – observers, collectors, makers and storytellers embedded within the life of a place.

Your support means The Old Ambo can continue to support the Artists that make up our vibrant creative community.
