  2. … The Welcome Wall … From Conception to Installation …… A RonaldMcDonaldHouse James Cook University 2005 Collaborative Public Art Venture

  3. The Initial Idea …. for our N.Q.RMcD House Welcome Wall germinated in April 2005upon seeing Terry Beaston’s stunning workin Adelaide…

  4. In June 2005 meetings were held with RMH’s House Manager Helen Tartellin, Chairman of the Board George Colbran & Townsville Hospital’s Director of Operations, Sean Drummond. A proposal by Dr. Linda Ashton, with budget & draft designs was accepted. Making a feature wall would provide JCU pre-service teachers with valuable experience in collaborative public art making. … the site was selected …

  5. J u s t i f i c a t i o n … Many Qld regional families with very sick children come to stay at the newly constructed Ronald McDonald House in Townsville’s Hospital Complex while their little ones receive medical treatment . . . The design and construction of a large illuminated free-standing stained-glass wall would identify “The House” and provide a colourful entry point at all times of the day and night. If children had to be hospitalised there would be a unique visual & tactile treat on their first or subsequent visits.

  6. Early design drafts began, incorporating figures typically drawn by children and three words which would identify THE HOUSE as a special place June 10/05

  7. So …. armed with the first two prototypes of 288 glass blocks … a laptop & a letter of introduction from Ronald McDonald House, the project manager sought in kind support, discounts and material donations. Though approved in principle, the project needed significant sponsorship to become a reality. The list of contributors grew steadily& for an outlay of $8000, RMH would have its feature wall valued at over $30000 thanks to corporate & community generosity ….
