SEE IT AT YEPPOON FORESHORE 77 SPECIES WITH AMBER COUNTRYMAN An installation that will provoke thought around the issues of marine debris is Amber Countryman’s creative aim Main Beach for this year’s Festival. Wander from the Foreshore to the beach at low tide during Saturday or Sunday to take in Amber’s masterpiece which has been a community effort with the Yeppoon Men’s Shed helping with the woodwork and painting, North Keppel Island Environmental Education Centre providing most of the marine debris and a small army of volunteers to carry the load. As a well-established, local environmental artist, Amber attempts to highlight the significance of our natural environment through her art and furthermore make statements of what our modern lifestyles and practices are having on our living world. By reducing the amount of waste destined for landfill and transforming it into something beautiful, she feels ethically responsible for her artistic urges and simultaneously hopes to influence consumerist desire and hold accountable the ‘powers that be’.

DISCS TO DISCO BALLS WITH HELEN KAVANAGH SEE IT AT Helen Kavanagh is a local artist who will bring to the Festival a lot of sparkle! As a passionate advocate for the environment and concerned by the detrimental impact of our throw-away society, Helen is embarking on an art project that will BEAMAN PARK encourage the community to reflect on their waste behaviours. ‘Discs to Disco Balls’ will see Helen reusing compact discs to create reflective disco balls, and to bring a little more magic to the Enchanted Forest. Helen hopes that her project will raise awareness and encourage others to use objects that are about to be discarded, for a second purpose.

THE ENCHANTED FOREST WITH KATE SCHLICK This project, funded by Livingstone Shire Council’s Placemaking Initiative, is a wire art installation where participants can freely express their inner sense of belonging, creating oversized wire sculptures to transform the landscape of Beaman Park. SEE IT AT Local artists and members of the community, including students from Yeppoon State High School, St Brendan’s and St Ursula’s Colleges have created wondrous pieces which will become a centrepiece in the Yeppoon CBD leading up to and during the BEAMAN Festival.
