USQ Artsworx

Overview

University of Southern Queensland – Artsworx is an established and esteemed Queensland arts organisation delivering cultural experiences that inspire and enrich regional communities located in Toowoomba.

Brief

USQ – Artsworx is a dynamic and dedicated team, who produce an annual season of high quality, innovative, artistic and cultural experiences which showcase emerging artists from Toowoomba’s University of Southern Queensland (USQ) student cohort, as well as professional guest artists and a range of community and corporate stakeholders. They attract more than 20,000 people to the USQ campus, in South Toowoomba each year. A new website was required to showcases their capabilities, a range of exciting progressive facilities and cultural experiences. This was to be achieved in a coherent and logical way. The transformation will not only upgrade USQ – Artsworx external look digitally, but their facilities and marketing campaigns. The website sets a president for additional work to follow. As the USQ – Artsworx is a project with existing, upcoming and future requirements, careful planning of the website at all levels was required. The selected agency was expected to undertake an adequate discovery phase to clearly define the objectives, information architecture, content deliverables and user stories around which the project can be adequately planned, designed, developed and managed.
