Creative Spaces Project
Late last year, our team at Reset had the privilege of leading a community art installation as part of the wider Creative Spaces Project, coordinated by Three Lakes Cultural Trust.
The Creative Spaces Project is a collaboration between Queenstown Lakes District Council and the Three Lakes Cultural Trust, pairing local creativity with unexpected spaces and places across the Queenstown Lakes District.
From cafés and restaurants to libraries, laneways, and community halls, creativity was popping up everywhere, transforming familiar places into moments of imagination and connection. Each installation, performance, or exhibition brings artists and venues together to offer fresh ways of experiencing local culture. Working alongside the local community, we created a temporary street-art installation made entirely from recycled mixed-media textiles donated by Wastebusters. The piece is intentionally alive - young people are invited to continue adding to it, shaping an ever-evolving expression of creativity. Inspired by water, the work celebrates our precious local waterways while giving space for individual expression, play, and imagination. At its heart, this installation aims to activate underused public spaces, spark conversation, and foster a sense of community identity, ownership, and belonging.
