YOUTH PARLIAMENT A GREAT WAY TO REPRESENT FREO

 

 

Freo does not only have the best community in the world, but also the best youth in the whole wide universe, so I’d like to see some of them on the Youth Parliament! ; >)

Applications are now open for the 2020 Youth Parliament!

Youth Parliament is a fantastic opportunity for passionate young people to have their voices heard.

The program teaches Western Australians between the ages of 15 and 25 about the political process while making their voices heard about the issues important to them.

CALL FOR BETTER VQ FISHING BOAT HARBOUR CONNECTION

 

There is an interesting opinion piece by URBIS director Kris Nolan in today’s West Australian.

Nolan writes that Fremantle Council is on the right track with its push for more inner city development, but he laments, like so many of us have done for years, the missing connectivity between Victoria Quay and the Fishing Boat Harbour.

I am one of many in the Freo community who does not understand that that link is not a priority for Fremantle Council, that constantly talks about the need for more activation of the West End.

Nolan also points out that there is a lack of young people in the CBD and that Council should address that, which it has to a certain degree with the planned stunning new playground at Kings Square. One should also not underestimate the impact the closure of Hungry Jacks on the Cappuccino Strip has, that attracted a lot of young people.

So what would Fremantle’s Youth Council like to see in the inner city?

FREMANTLE SHOWCASES YOUNG ARTISTS

 

The City of Fremantle’s 25under25 Art Award returns this Friday 27 September at the Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery in Henry Street with an exhibition from emerging Western Australian artists aged between 14 and 25.

Now in its eighth year, 25under25 celebrates the strength and vibrancy these young artists bring to our creative community, as well as provides them with valuable, professional exhibition experience to help guide their art careers.

25under25 coordinator Sheridan Coleman said this year’s 25 selected artists received industry–level professional development at an installation and art writing workshop in the lead up to the exhibition at Moores Building.

“We help them start to think about the whole practice of exhibiting, including booking a venue, marketing, design and thinking very carefully about what techniques should be used to install their artwork. All this contributes to how a gallery visitor will connect with the artwork they’ve created.”

The Art Award winner will receive $1500 cash and a four-week studio residency at Fremantle Arts Centre, while the winner of the Highly Commended prize will receive $500 cash and a portfolio mentorship with Fremantle Arts Centre Curator Ric Spencer. The People’s Choice Award – voted by the public over the course of the exhibition – will receive a $250 art materials pack from Jacksons Drawing Supplies at the end of the exhibition.

The 25under25 Art Award opening night kicks off at 6pm this Friday 27 September. The exhibition is open daily 8am–4pm, and runs from Saturday 28 September–Sunday 6 October. The opening night and exhibition are free entry and open to the public.
