Hi everyone, I’m Lauren and Tracey and I are here today to introduce you to a fantastic new QPRC initiative, which is “What’s Your Story? “

Council is delivering two story based projects, all designed to capture the history, diversity and strength of the Queanbeyan-Palerang region. Everyone’s contribution is important and welcome, including yours.

The first project is the Queanbeyan Portrait Mural Project and Tracey will talk more to you about that now.

Great, thanks Lauren. And yes it is a very significant public art project we are just about to undertake. We are looking for you, the community, to engage in this project by helping us select the subject matter for the, very very large, portrait mural that we will be installing in the CBD in early 2019.

So what we are looking for is for you to have a think about who you think truly represents Queanbeyan. We are looking for an image, and a story that goes with that image. It could be someone from the past or the present. Have a think about that with your family over the festive season and get your entries into QPRC’s Your Voice.

From March 2019, we will be launching the second What’s Your Story project, but more information to come on that shortly.

Thankyou!
