The COVID-19 pandemic left a negative impact on creatives, the arts, retail, tourism, and small business sectors. To stimulate the local economy, business, and creatives, Evolution Mining partnered with E13 and Euphorium to fund the Little Finds project. The project activated often unseen areas of Kalgoorlie with creative urban interventions which instil a sense of wonder, surprise, and delight throughout the main precinct. The project was officially launched in early October 2022.
The urban installation has been funded to install over 15 new unique and unexpected artworks in Kalgoorlie CBD. The project provides quality outdoor entertainment for locals, visitors, and tourists, contributing to the liveability of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. A Town Wander event was held on the 9th of October. The event producer, Euphorium Creative, gave a “Big thanks to our principal partner for Little Finds who even sent some of the workforce down to help” set up installations.
In early June 2022, Little Finds was launched with a community event and a final map of all Little Finds around town was distributed. This event also marked the end of Stage 1 of Little Finds, and the beginning of Stage 2 of a new artistic venture ‘Junkadelic’ which will be similarly produced by Euphorium and E13. This project has been made possible with the support of Evolution Mining, the Department of Local Government, Sport & Cultural Industries, and Lotterywest. Evolution Mungari Team members are proud to see the Little Finds project develop and grow into a sustainable and financially self-sufficient project supporting art and creativity.
