The Path Primer

31 Jan 2025 | 10:00 AM - 04:00 PM

Facilitated by Dr Kellie O’Dempsey, The Path Primer is a condensed professional development opportunity for early-career artists in City of Moreton Bay.

Over two weekends, artists will participate in a series of workshops and presentations that facilitate the development of a new body of work. Artists will learn about artwork concept development, project planning techniques, participate in critique sessions and expand their networks.

This facilitated process aims to support artists to:

• grow their individual creative practices
• develop critical thinking
• create community
• explore and understand contemporary art practice here in Queensland
• clarify and design a professional path towards future projects for their work.

Participants will also hear about professional opportunities in Moreton Bay from members of Council’s Cultural Activation and Art Galleries teams.

About the facilitator

Artist and educator Dr Kellie O’Dempsey creates site-generated installations and performances that integrate projection, video, collage, architectural space, gestural line, performance and digital drawing. Creating in both solo and collaborative formats with sound artists and contemporary dance practitioners, O’Dempsey’s diverse practice explores, deconstructs and heightens the concept of public space as shared experience.

Kellie’s past performances include Art after Dark; Pier 2/3; 18th Biennale of Sydney; MONA FOMA, Hobart; Museum of Brisbane; and the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

Kellie is represented by Jan Manton Gallery Brisbane, Queensland.
