Inhabited Ipswich is a project driven by creatives with a desire to activate our beloved city, Tulmur (Ipswich).

Using light, projection and contemporary art installations to activate vacant shop fronts and non-traditional art spaces, Inhabited Ipswich revitalises the urban landscape of Ipswich Central at night. The collective’s recent acquisition of the Regional Arts Development Fund by Ipswich City Council and Arts Queensland, funded four local artists a 10-week mentorship program by established contemporary artist and educator Dr Kellie O’Dempsey. The Path- Inhabited Ipswich program accumulates in new works for Spark Festival 2023. These works are inspired by the idea of inhabiting spaces by local artists.
