If you’re wondering what was happening at the Kingaroy peanut silos on Sunday night, the light show was all in the name of art …<\/p>\n

The results of a two-day digital arts workshop held in Kingaroy were projected on to the western wall of the silos from about 6:00pm.<\/p>\n

Thirteen students from across the Central Queensland arts region gathered at the South Burnett Enterprise Centre at the weekend to learn more about digital stop-go animation under the guidance of Mackay visual artist Donna Maree Robinson.<\/p>\n

Their results – a series of short clips – were combined and projected on to the silos, with the assistance of Bega (PCA).<\/p>\n

About 100 people gathered in Haly Street at the foot of the silos to watch the display.<\/p>\n

The workshop was organised by the Central Queensland Regional Arts Services Network (CQ-RASN) in conjunction with the South Burnett Regional Council and South Burnett Arts Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year the State Government sliced Queensland into different regions to deliver on-the-ground arts services.<\/p>\n

A lead organisation was appointed in each region to work with local councils.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett and Cherbourg council areas were included in the Central Queensland region with Central Queensland University chosen as the local service provider.<\/p>\n

The digital animation workshop held was the first major project co-ordinated by CQ-RASN in the South Burnett under the new arrangements.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Arts chairperson Jane Iszlaub said she was excited by the project and hoped it would lead to many more projections on to the peanut silos.<\/p>\n

Council’s arts portfolio holder Cr Danita Potter was also very enthusiastic about the results of the workshop.<\/p>\n
