Stitching Our Strengths with Michele Grimston (28 March 9.30am)

Michele Grimston is an artist and community cultural
development practitioner based on Ngunnawal Country
in Canberra. She is currently undertaking a practice-led
PhD through the Faculty of Art and Design at University
 of Canberra.
Her work explores slow, meditative textile processes as ways of practicing care and connection for earth, community and spirit. She is interested in building 
individual and collective rituals of creation which develop 
the role of these laborious textile processes in our 
personal, spiritual and social wellbeing.

Michele completed her honours degree in textiles at the
 Australian National University School of Art in 2009 and 
in 2014, she graduated with a Masters in Community 
Cultural Development from the Victorian College of the
 Arts.

She has exhibited in Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and
 Canada and her work is held in the collection of
 Geoscience Australia. Michele has presented
 participative, community engaged works through Rebus
 and You Are Here and has facilitated large scale
 collaborative projects as an artist in residence in multiple 
schools and Early Learning Centres.

In addition, Michele has over 10 years of experience
managing community arts and education programs for
public galleries including Belco Arts and Bunbury
Regional Art Gallery. Through this work she supports
artists and the public to build vibrant, connected and
creative communities.
