Arts Community in Residence at last
The Bunyip, March 31st, 2005

Public Meeting for Art Gallery Bid
February 7, 2005
A public meeting will be held on Wednesday 16th February, 2005 at 7pm in the Country Women's
Association Clubrooms in Todd Street, Gawler.
The meeting is to gauge support amongst the local crafts and arts groups to establish a community based art gallery in Gawler.
The meeting has been initiated by Gawler Mayor, Tony Piccolo in response to some recent
negotiations for the possible lease of a space and indications that Gawler Council would be prepared to consider a request for some short term subsidies to help a community gallery to become
operational.
It is also a response to the Hames Sharley report, commissioned by council in 2003, which indicated
that a permanent gallery in the town was required for the arts to grow further.
All local artists, crafts people and arts and crafts organisations looking for exhibition space within
the Town of Gawler are encouraged to attend.
