Our Outreach Fleet takes creative and educational programming directly to communities.

And so can you - our assets are available for hire.

From 2020 - 2024, Think+DO Tank Foundation has developed an outreach fleet - a bus, caravan, campervan, studio and stage.

Our outreach fleet is an expression of Think+DO Tank Foundation’s work as a creative force for social cohesion and belonging; a champion of multilingual creative production and self-expression; an accelerator of creative talent; an investigator of complex social needs; and an agile, experimental, collaborative force, with community members and service partners, in shaping fairer systems through the arts.

And you can use these beautiful assets too!

The People Movers is an easy to drive 12-seater bus. We use it to increase the physical mobility for local community members.

The Universe of Possibilities is a multifunctional caravan with screen, water, power, lighting, market window and display.

OUTREACH CAPACITY

“The Universe of Possibilities” is a multi-arts outreach caravan, designed to spread joy, create optimism and empower regional and rural communities through multilingual creativity, creative programming and community engagement.

The Universe of Possibilities is designed to deliver the full benefits of our program on the road. It was commissioned to deliver high quality creative programming to resettlement hubs throughout South Eastern Australia. We propose that it begins its work in Newcastle and Coffs Harbour. It is capable of delivering outdoor events and workshops, a preferable modality in this new COVID era. Further, it is capable of delivering programming regionally, even if our core team in Sydney is locked down.

The Universe of Possibilities can operate as a pop up shop; a workshop space; an events space; an outdoor cinema; or as a venue. It carries a solar array and battery; water tanks; storage; awnings; a sound system; and a large flat screen that rises from within a wall for screenings. It draws a crowd wherever it goes!
