Eve Armstrong - Summer Residency 2006

SLIPs called for local residents to contribute ideas to improve Wellington.
Residents were invited to come relax, meet Eve and discuss improvement ideas for Wellington at Enjoy. Comfortable couches, refreshments, reading material and documentation of Eve's previous projects were provided.

The Lakeside Leisure Kit was also available free for hire. The mobile kit originally created by Eve as part of ‘Likes The Outdoors', Ramp Gallery, Hamilton, features all you may need for a fun summer outing, including a frisbee, ball, art satchel, backscratcher, binoculars, picnic essentials and more.

Action & Activity Week
2 -11 February 2006
SLIPs is Eve Armstrong's Artist in Residence Project at Enjoy Public Art Gallery
Over the month Enjoy's Artist in Residence Eve Armstrong used the gallery as a headquarters and meeting place for the public to come in and discuss their SLIPs ideas. There were numerous diverse ideas submitted, more ideas than could be completed within the length of the residency. Eve focused her energies on a few projects, ranging from creating a Media Starter Kit for Evolve Youth Service to organising a gardening day for the recently moved Arlington Gardens, culminating in a week of action and activity. Eve also created an ever-evolving notice board display for the ideas she was unable to complete.
