Recently, JMC Brisbane Entertainment Business Management Student  @emmabeeston_ from @gather.group_was given the opportunity to work with @thisisart_____

Innovating and collaborating with Brisbane's THIS IS ART x OWLET allowed for an event that blew away the art scene and made waves in the industry space. Showcasing local artist OWLETs with her FOLLOWING FEATHERS Exhibit, “Art with a soundtrack” took on a definition, an unconventional dynamic showcase of art, film, fashion, lighting and music. Stimulated by sound and visual works of art, the showcase of painted models, a short film, immersive presentation, collaboration fashion show and inventive DJs throughout the night wowed the SOLD-OUT audience.

This zero-waste event followed an innovative COVID safe plan and was held in the unconventional Vacant Assembly in West End. Reinventing the way events operate post-COVID, Emma experimented with the use of developing a walk-through flow pattern floor plan rather than having attendees sit down for the entire event and miss out on the opportunity to be immersed in the work for a more natural gallery effect.

As an active member of the JMC Community, Emma has contributed to numerous events, with 2020 alone bringing her the opportunity to lead as a production manager during JMC’s Partnership with Remix Hotel. Learning a lot from both her involvement in THIS IS ART and Remix Hotel; Emma has been able to expand on her real-world experiences within the industry and advance as an Entertainment Business Management student. Not only was this event run by a student, but more of the JMC community also became involved as other students like Emily Taylor and Ellie Vane-Tempest volunteered.

GATHER.group is asking you to keep your eyes open – something new and exciting is going to be announced very soon! If you’d like to be a part of this project, contact Emma on Emma@gatheruofront.com or head to her socials to follow her progress and her postings for future opportunities.
