Pitch
(Maruku Arts, 2021).
Youth at Yerrol - Indigenous Art and Culture Workshops for Children:
Why should adults be the only ones enjoying Yerrol? Enter: ‘Youth at Yerrol.’ This after-school workshop for children aged 5-12 at Maritime Green celebrates Indigenous art, storytelling, and culture. Not only would the workshops encourage reconciliation and respect amongst younger generations, but it would also provide chances of collaboration with schools, the current tenants, and provide a special experience for tourists to create their own Brisbane-unique souvenir in a workshop.
Required skills:
Research – it will be essential to become knowledgeable about First Nations’ art and what resources are needed.
Knowledge/appreciation of visual arts – we need to make this as enjoyable as possible for art students.
Budgeting skills – the scheduled workshop structure will produce a non-conventional budget.
Knowledge of working with children – they are the target audience.
Compassion and respect – this project centres around First Nations culture; we must be respectful of the customs and beliefs of the Turrbal and Yuggera peoples.

Principles for Respecting Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property
Because these workshops celebrate Indigenous culture and art, it will be essential to abide by the 10 Principles for Respecting Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (Australia Council for the Arts, 2019). It is essential that the leadership for these workshops are First Nations individuals (Principle 2), and that they are consulted at every step (Principle 1 and 3). It is also the right of First Nations communities to keep some practices secret (principle 6) and receive payment for any contributions to the workshops (Principle 8). EDQ’s partnerships with the Turrbal and Yuggera peoples will be essential to ensure the workshops are run tactfully and respectfully.

Key Criteria
(1. Response to the Site & Client Brief
'Youth at Yerrol' effectively meets Challenge No. 2, by creating a public attraction that enhances the legacy of Northshore. It not only fills a gap in catering towards children, but also emphasises the site's First Nations culture. The project adds value by introducing greater week-day attention to the site.
(2. Originality
While both public youth art workshops and First Nations art workshops have been conducted by many different groups, the combination of these ideas is original. 'Youth at Yerrol' enhances Northshore’s cultural landscape by improving the sense of community the site has, through celebrating First Nations art.
(3. Audience Engagement, Ethics and Diversity
The target audience is children aged 5-12 years, as children younger than 5 may require greater supervision, and children aged older than 12 are often engaged in high-school commitments. A secondary audience of tourists may be possible, specifically around major events such as the 2032 Olympic Games. Workshops where tourists can craft their own Brisbane-unique souvenir can be a valuable experience that furthers the sense of destination at Northshore.
(4. Feasibility, Sustainability & Enduring Significance
'Youth at Yerrol' has a light touch approach with no formal building. Only art supplies and small pop-up shade tents and blankets are needed. To aid Northshore in moving towards a 6-star GBCA certification, recycled items / rubbish found in the river can be used creatively, as has been done by First Nations artists previously. An entry fee can ensure the project’s continuity, and adaptation is possible due to the versatility of the space, for example through sports and games.

Janbal Gallery
This Aboriginal Art Gallery features various art workshops such as 'Sharing Art - Sharing Culture,' where stories are told through Aboriginal paintings and participants can create their own souvenir (Janbal Gallery, 2024). A similar appeal to tourists would be beneficial to Northshore and could be used to provide an additional source of revenue, especially during the 2032 Olympics. This gallery also hosts weekday scheduled workshops for a fee, however Idea 2 would have a more specific focus on children and outdoor activities.

Existing Arts and Craft Workshops for Children in Brisbane
The Brisbane Libraries host children-oriented workshops and maker spaces involving art, science experiments, and crafts (Brisbane City Council, 2023). Brisbane also has various priced workshops, such as Creative Kids Brisbane West End, which runs from 9-11 am on weekdays for $15 per child (Brisbane City Council, 2023). Idea 2 would have a similar structure to Creative Kids Brisbane West End, with a dedicated time each day, however a fee for entry is still undetermined. However, Idea 2 would have a clear emphasis on First Nations art and culture.

Key Quotes from "Civic Engagement and Inclusion Through Art" by Michael Greer
Art is a deeply human response to social upheaval and has been a tool of reckoning and reconciliation throughout human history (Greer, 2021).
Art, in all of its disciplines, has the power to convey messages that are difficult to otherwise articulate (Greer, 2021).
Through art, however, we are able to deliver these complex messages of healing at a deeper level that can resonate beyond race, color, socio-economic status, and gender (Greer, 2021).
Having arts and cultural institutions in our communities provide multiple opportunities for community members to engage. Their presence, at all scales, create a virtuous cycle of placemaking and dialogue that add to the quality of life in a community (Greer, 2021).
Idea 2 = encouraging reconciliation amongst the wider community, and a place to support issues specific to the Turrbal and Yugara peoples.
Art = a powerful medium for fashioning change, while aiding in placemaking at Northshore.

Draft Idea 3: A Recycling, Repurposing, and Re-Selling Community.
Maritime Green could remain open throughout the week with equipment, such as material to recycle paper, with furniture restoration workshops on certain days, and a second-hand market on others.
Strengths:
This proposal takes a proactive stance on sustainability and recycling. It could be marketed towards retired people, who may like to feel a sense of belonging and have a community to join during the week.
Weaknesses:
The grass space will likely be wasted, as activities that involve physical activity or games would not be appropriate to the retired target audience. This idea also does not First Nations culture and does little to aid the space in becoming a destination.
Opportunities:
There may be opportunities to collaborate with Mens Shed and the Tool Shed, along with the potential of making a specialised 'repurposed furniture markets' to bring new crowds to Northshore.
Threats:
Unfortunately, the overlap with the Tool Shed and Mens Shed might take away from the work these tenants do, rather than enhance the experience. This idea is not original to Northshore and would face competition from second hand markets around Brisbane.

Draft Idea 2: First Nations Teaching, Story Telling, and Art Creating Workshops
(Welcome To Country, 2024).
This project involves children’s workshops exploring the rich culture of the Turrbal and Yuggera peoples. QAGOMA has had events around First Nations art, however this idea can be extended beyond a formal and indoor setting. At Maritime Green, art workshops by First Nations artists could be conducted, with school trips or extracurricular activities taking place here.
Strengths:
These workshops take a light tough approach; no construction is needed as the space already features grass, concrete, and an under-cover area. The project can continue as needed; workshops can be hosted with the school term in mind, with students returning to continue projects. It also beautifully celebrates First Nations culture, while also bringing guests to Northshore during the week.
Weaknesses:
It may be difficult to maintain engagement, so it would be essential to make these workshops feel like a community, rather than a one-off class. It is also important not to tokenise the First Nations culture, as their art and practices must not be 'watered down' for the Brisbane community.
Opportunities:
There may be exciting collaborations with the other tenants in the Maker Spaces, and room to make these workshops sustainable with recycled art supplies. Marketing the workshops as a ‘special Brisbane activity’ can also aid Northshore in becoming a destination, as tourists may visit to create their own souvenirs and experience First Nations' art creation.
Threats:
A target audience of children indicates that the workshops must be marketed towards parents and educators, and must be appealing to both children and their caretakers. With the many other children-focused activities around Brisbane, this may be challenging.

Draft Idea 1: community composting centre.
This proposal includes composting bins/worms open during the week, which are packed away in the shipping containers when not in use, i.e. festivals, weekend events.
Strengths:
This would satisfy the 'light touch' requirement, as no significant changes to the infrastructure or permanent adjustments are needed. It would directly also encourage sustainability and community building, with a culture around composting bringing people together.
Weaknesses:
Brisbane City Council already has 'community composting hubs,' (Brisbane City Council, 2024). Composting may create too much smell and detract from the appeal of Northshore, considering the food and drink nearby. Furthermore, this option does not celebrate First Nations culture, nor has an aesthetic appeal, which may hinder a social media presence.
Opportunities:
A partnership with Brisbane City Council could be formed, which may be more economically viable, if the Council funds this project. However, this may limit the control that EDQ has over Northshore. Due to the weekday use, schools could have learning experiences here, with experts leading information sessions and activities.
Threats:
Surrounding composting hubs may limit numbers and create competition, as may home composting.

First impressions of Maritime Green:
concrete area, a grass area with a hill, some shaded chairs and tables (under the shipping containers), a stage area, river views, a few trees.
licensed venue, an event holder would need to obtain their own licence to serve alcohol.
Challenges: the hill, currently open to the weather
large space and grass surface = suitable to children; running around/playing would be appealing, while adults can be in the shade areas sitting down.
