Event insurance is something that the Glenorchy Council website states as required for some kinds of events. One option that was linked through to on the Councils website was ‘Local Community Insurance Service’ - ‘Special Event Insurance’. Ph 1300853800 - they offer quotes online were you specify what coverage you need.

For food service it might be a good idea to hire a number of food trucks to cater the event making sure to provide suitable food for various allergy and dietary requirement - Vegetarian, Vegan, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Nut Free ect. I found a few through <mobilefoodanddrinks.com.au/food-trucks-hobart-Tasmania.html>
Such as ‘Taco Taco’ which says that with notice they cater to all dietary needs.

One option to address our sound needs is ‘Bass Trap Productions’ - 0467634496 - info@basstrap.com.au. They can supply production management and audio equipment. They do not include any information concerning video/visual equipment.

To address our video/visual needs we could hire a projector and back yard cinema screen. However this probably would not work if we wanted to play videos before it gets dark.

We could hire marquees a well as tables from ‘www.rollins.com.au’ (Rollins Canvas & Party Hire) - 0408269432 - They offer a variety of different sized tents 5x5, 6x6, 8x8, 12x8, 16x8, 16x10. If were to pick up the marquees prices range from $200 to $850. They do not state prices for delivery and setting up the marquees. They have 3 or 4 different sized tables and a range of different kinds of chairs. Some with metal frames and others made from plastic. As the chairs might get dirty it might be a good idea to hire the plastic chairs as they will be easier to clean.

Theme: Environment + waste.

A one day event that engages the local community to learn about the environment, particularly, household waste, and its detrimental effect on the environment.

Rationale for themed event:

Collaborative art based initiatives are proving popular and an effective way of communicating environmental issues (Andrews 2016).

I found out about the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Zero Waste Tournament, from an Instagram account I follow, called "Trash is for Tossers". The owner of the account, Lauren Singer, is a zero waste advocate and attended the festival. As she details in her post, the event only had recycle or compost bins - no trash cans anywhere. They ensure no liquid gets into the recycle bins (to prevent contamination of recyclable materials) and sort through all the waste to make sure it is going where it needs to go. If non-recyclable materials end up in a recycle bin, this contaminates the entire contents of the recycle bin and prevents the contents from being recycled (this is the same for  Australian Domestic recycle bins).
I think this is a measure we can implement at our own festival.

Lauren Singer on Instagram: "A massive golf tournament with zero waste?!?!?! 😱 If more events treated waste like @wastemanagement did it would feel so much nicer going to large sporting and music events which typically have trash EVERYWHERE. At this tournament @wastemanagement provided composting and recycling and then after they sort through EVERYTHING to ensure that there is zero waste to landfill. If more companies took initiatives like this it would make a HUGE difference. Do you love sports or music festivals? Let’s start asking our favorite sporting and music events to go #zerowaste. Any event can do this! @wastemanagement even provides tours for any event organizers that want to learn about all of the initiatives they are taking to be zero waste to landfill! They are even helping the super bowl!! YAY! What do you usually throw away when you go to festivals or what do you wish there was recycling for? For me it's those bracelets! #greenestshow #thepeoplesopen #wmpo"

The Phoenix Open is a stop on the PGA tour in America, arguably the biggest golf tournament in the world. Waste Management is the name of a US company that provides residential, commercial and industrial waste management services with the environment, green energy and zero waste firmly at the forefront of their business model.
Waste Management sponsors the Phoenix stop of the PGA tour and ensures this event is 100% Zero Waste. The waste generated by 2.2 million fans, players and sponsors, such as plastic bottles, cans, cups and even even signs are repurposed for beneficial reuse.
Whilst this event takes place in America, and we don't have access to Waste Managements services as such, we can take inspiration from this event, and look at what we are doing with the waste that Arts for Change will produce.

At the even we will need to supply additional toilets. Tasloohire.com.au is a business based in Mornington, Tasmania. For 1-4 day hire, each toilet, with the company responsible for the pump out and cleaning, costs $96 and delivery for 3-8 units is $120. The Glenorchy council needs to be informed about the quantity of toilets being supplied. 5 or 6 should suffice.

In order to hire the music bowl at Tolosa Park (which eliminates the need for hiring a transportable stage) permits need to be submitted and approved. The fees are consistent with standard hut rental fees with access to power costing extra. In images of events held at the music bowl it appears that they also hire our hut 15 and restrict access to the public.

This kind of event requires certain permits. For the use of tents/marquees and stalls we will require a  ‘Temporary Occupancy Permit. As food will be on sale we might need to obtain ‘Temporary Food Registration’, though the details surrounding this is a little fuzzy.

In order to have a public event on council land it is a requirement that we obtain a minor events permit (less than 1000 people - they do not specify for crowds larger than 1000). As well as the completion of the ‘public events on council land’ application form and the ‘public event risk assessment’ form.

To bring awareness to Australia’s paper consumption there will be an area near the library where people can bring books that are in disrepair and any other paper materials to recycle.
This area will be working along side the Glenorchy Council Tip Shop and all recyclables will be donated to the Glenorchy Landfill.
In the designated paper recycling area there will be a flow chart on the walls of the tent. This will showcase all the resources that are used to create paper. There will also be a-frame sandwich boards with facts on Australia's paper consumption. For example the paper industry uses more water to produce its product than all other industries. An astounding 90,000 litres of water is used to make just one tonne of virgin paper. More information can be found at http://www.australianscience.com.au/environmental-science/paper-consumption-impact-in-australia/.

This film is based on the true story of Edith Wilkinson and the young male lyrebird whom she named James. Mr Ambrose Pratt first told this story in The Age newspaper, 13 February 1932.

# data[].attributes.body
The storytelling will be led by Jackie Kerin, a Melbourne-based storyteller and writer. She both teaches and performs in schools and many community venues. I envisage her running workshops to help draw the story from participants and their objects, and also to perform a story of her own, using an object as her inspiration. I imagine 3 time slots throughout the day, and numbers will be limited so that everyone receives Jackie's attention.  There will be a collection of objects from the tip shop for people to choose from, but of course participants are welcome to bring an object of their own for a more personal experience. The Edith's Lyrebird clip is an example of Jackie Kerin in action.

# data[].attributes.body
According to Wikipedia, in ancient traditions "storytellers were regarded as healers, leaders, spiritual guides, teachers, cultural secret keepers and entertainers." It's a powerful art form, transcending cultural and age differences and imbuing the ordinary with significance. By taking objects we consider to be waste and weaving a story around them, I'm hoping to give participants the idea that their rubbish can also be their history. When we ruthlessly throw away things that we think no longer serve us, we are sometimes throwing away our memories.

# data[].attributes.body
Using recycling bins appears simple, we need to place our recycling in the designated bin and take it out at the curb on recycling day, so why is this so hard? I propose a stall where people can be engaged by a 2 minute demonstration on what is rubbish and what can go in our recycling bins each week. These demonstrations will run every 15 minutes, they will be short and to the point as to not bore people.

My Contribution and Second Hand Library Stall

# data[].attributes.body
I am currently studying Librarianship and Corporate Information Management and my passion is reading. My contribution is to have a second hand library filled with books I have sourced online for free that people can browse and permanently borrow. I will also be using social media (Facebook and Instagram) to ask for book donations. It will be set up under a large marquee and have an area where people can sit and read. Gumtree will be used to source free local bookshelves, chairs and couches. I will contact St Vincent De Paul to find clothing that is in poor condition and cannot be worn. With this clothing I will sew pieces of the fabrics together, making blankets and throws. They will be draped over the chairs and couches in the library, making the space feel more homely and inviting. Once the festival has finished these blankets will be donated to St Vincent De Paul.

The Canary Project (1964) is a group of artists, designers, scientists, writers and volunteers that collaborate to produce art that responds to environmental issues (The Canary Project 2018). Their group statement is “Art opens space for belief. And belief makes a space for change” (The Canary Project 2018, 1).

A project that is having a positive effect on the environment is Increase Your Albedo! 2007-2010. This initiative involved sculpture, fashion and interventionist public performances to raise awareness about the earth’s reflectivity or albedo, by wearing all-white (The Canary Project 2017).

Let's encourage visitors to our event to wear white and raise awareness about keeping the planet cool (The Canary Project 2017).

It is important to make sure that in the event of injury or illness that there are trained individuals prensent to handle the situation as safely and effectively as possible.

St John Cadets/Volunteers frequently work at Festivals, concerts and the like and are equipped to deal with a range of health and injury related issues.

Requesting the presence of St John volunteers is straight forward and requires the submission of an application.

It might also be a good idea to use the First Aid tent as a base for lost children.

Beside the library will be a stall where people can make their own library bags. We will be asking via social media that people donate old materials (blankets or clothing) that can be used to make these bags. There is an owl design for  young children and also a simple knapsack style bag for older kids and adults. We will have demonstrations and easy step by step instructions for people to follow along and make their bag to protect their new books.

While most people know they should use reusable bags for shopping (instead of plastic bags) there are many product alternatives available, to help reduce waste.

This list, by Australian company Onya is a good example of the wide range of products available, and most of the items on the list, are products I would look to sell in the market place, as they are items that will help households reduce their domestic waste. For example;

Reusable produce bags

Reusable bread bags

Biodegradable plant pots

Reusable sandwich wraps

Reusable Coffee Cups

Stainless Steal Drink Bottles

These are a small example of the products I would like in the market place.

what small household changes can be done to decrease disposable waste and increase recycling habits

# data[].attributes.body
I’m studying a Bachelor of Arts (Literature) but have previously studied a Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing). Being environmentally friendly and living a zero waste life is an important issue to me and is something I practice in my everyday life. Using my personal experience, as well as my marketing knowledge, my role in the Art for Change Festival, is to create a “Zero Waste Market Place”, where attendees can purchase products that will assist them in reducing the amount of waste they produce.

Selling products at a waste reduction festival may seem counterintuitive, however, based on my experience with business and marketing, I know that for change to occur, it needs to be seamless and easy for consumers. People are going to buy toothbrushes anyway, so if we can make it easy to switch to a bamboo toothbrush that will reduced the amount of plastic sitting in landfill, then that is a success for the mission of our festival.
Did you know:  Approximately 22,679,620 kilos of plastic toothbrushes, end up in American landfills every year (The Environmental Impact of Toothbrushes. 3 August 2015. EcoPlanet Bamboo. http://www.ecoplanetbamboo.com/news/the-environmental-impact-of-toothbrushes) . That is just over 22.5 million kilos of waste, from one product, from one country: imagine the global total!

# data[].attributes.body
In an effort to minimize the environmental impact of our festival, Biodegradable and compostale plates, cutlery, cups, bowls, takeaway containers etc are a good idea.

http://www.vegware.com.au/?act=viewCatalogue is a company with sustainably sourced, recycled, low carbon and renewable products that would suit our festival perfectly. However they are located in NSW so we would need to ship the items to TAS which would contribute to the overall CO2 emissions produced by the festival.

The company, Tasmanian Hotel, is a local company, with a shop in Hobart, which means we can reduce our CO2 Footprint by shopping locally. Items bought from this company should be 'compostable' rather than 'biodegradable' as this is better for the environment.

I also propose that customers who bring their own food containers/takeaway boxes/cutlery/cups should receive a discount as this will encourage customers to reduce waste items. While compostable items are better for the environment, no waste at all is best!

Thank you for your interest in sharing a market stall at Sundalah Sunday.

This year is Sundalah's 10th Birthday and the 13th Sundalah Sunday and we are very excited for what we have planned for our annual health, wisdom and inspiration commUNITY day!

If you were not able to join us last year, we do hope that you will apply for Sundalah Sunday 2018 when stall applications open later this year.

Market stall general requirements are below.

All market stalls and products must support a healthy lifestyle, environmentally friendly, local or fair trade options.

The stallholder must ensure that all stall trading is undertaken within the boundaries of the allocated site.

The stall holders fee includes one single table + 1 chair which can be collected before 7:30am and returned after 4:30pm on the day.

All stall holders are required to bring their own marquee and sandbags.

All stall holders must be covered by Public Liability Insurance (min $10,000,000) with the Certificate of Currency and Food Licence (if applicable) visible on the day.

Your market stall is not secure until your invoice payment has been processed.

There are 3 types of stalls available:
1. Information Only 2. Product & Service for sale 3. Food &/or Beverage for sale

To ensure that the Sundalah Sunday market offers a wide and diverse range of offerings, you are required to list what you will be selling on the day. Stalls are selected based on the market providing minimal crossover of products and services.

You will be required to set up your marquee, table & chair on the day before, between 4pm and 6pm. We will have security overnight to supervise the property.

NOTE: In the event of bad weather, the indoor Sundalah Sunday program will continue and stall holders are given the option to stay with a new indoor stall location. No refunds are given.

On the day, I envisage 3 1-hour slots with Violent Femmes : 3 o'clock, 6  & 9. Any more would probably be too much for them to do in one day. But there's no reason why people can't go on jamming with their junk way beyond the official time slots. I would love to have a big screen so that we could show some of the incredible, inspiring music that has been created from junk.
In terms of practicalities, I will be visiting the tip shop and the landfills, collecting anything we can use to have there on the day for people to play with. People are, of course, also invited to bring their own creative junk. Additionally, I thought I'd contact all the school music teachers and give them the Junk Percussion guide for schools. They could either use it to do a purely junk percussion project, or combine it with a clean-up-our-environment activity in the weeks leading up to the festival. For kids whose teachers did this, the Festival would be an exciting culmination of their work.

STOMP have created for themselves international fame and a career touring the world, just using junk.

Now, while I'm not claiming any such achievements can happen over the course of one day, I think the benefits can still be considerable. First, of course, there is inspiring the creative use of stuff that most people would consider to be rubbish. Even one lone drummer can create incredible music. This junk can build unthought of skills, and provide empowerment for all ages.
https://youtu.be/FqJdzYY_Fas
Second, it's an incredible community-building exercise. I plan for it to be led by the Violent Femmes. At a recent pair of concerts, I noticed that the age range of the audience was enormous, and they all knew all the words for every song. If VF put it out on their social media, it will attract huge numbers of all ages, all coming to perform and have fun with this incredible band.
I envisage singing, dancing, banging everything from saucepans to wheelie bins. What a party!

Gallery exhibitions usually always have a participatory feature that encourages everyone to participate. Plastic shopping bags could be re-purposed to create a piece of art/sculpture. This work brings attention to mass consumption and symbolises the wastefulness of excessive plastic bag usage.

One of the reasons we chose to host the festival in Tasmania is because their recyclable waste could be improved, and therefore diminishing disposal usage.

My background is music and I'm currently studying Professional Writing and Publishing. My contribution will consist of a junk band and a storytelling hub.
There's an orchestra called the Landfillharmonic that has created an entire orchestra from trash in a very poor community in Paraguay - a real lesson that one man's trash is another man's treasure. I cried the first time I heard them - it was incredibly powerful. There are also several junk percussion groups around doing fantastic stuff. I specially like STOMP, who you can hear live in Australia later this year if you want to.

Storytelling is an ancient community tradition that used to be the only way of passing wisdom and history down through generations. I love it, because it promotes such wonderful communication between young and old. To me, part of the point of this project is to promote intergenerational  communication and understanding. If we are to preserve our planet we all need to work together. The YouTube clip below illustrates this beautifully.

Academic paper sharing the new ways artists are raising awareness about the environment

# data[].attributes.body
Today, environmental artists are responding to the issue of global warming in new ways (Brown 2014). Artists are collaborating with scientists, offering environmental solutions or undertaking collaborative activist interventions (Brown 2014). These new modes of working are generating artistic works that are reaching a wider and more diverse audience.

For example, Aviva Rahmani worked with a Paleoecologist and produced Trigger Points, Tipping Points 2007 (see image below), a digital print and video piece that shows the impact of global warming on river systems in conflict zones (Dunaway 2009). Futurefarmers, an international group, produces radical and quirky solutions to environmental issues, for example an at-home clean energy kit: DIY Algae/Hydrogen Kit 2004 (Brown 2014).

This could be a free paper available at the exhibition desk.
