SLIPs : Small Local Improvement Projects

Residents were invited to come relax, meet Eve and discuss improvement ideas for Wellington. Comfortable couches, refreshments, reading material and documentation of Eve's previous projects were provided.

Numerous ideas were 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 Services 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.

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.
