2013 Committee

The gallery's 2013 committee was decided at November's AGM. Returning Committee members were extremely pleased and excited to once again have a full committee of eight members after a year of operating as a five person team.

Elected members and the roles are as follows:

• Judy Ferguson - President
• Ellen Steyn - Treasurer
• David Arandle - Secretary, Newsletter Editor, Hanging Team Co-ordinator
• Colleen Gates - Shop Co-ordinator
• Sue Olds - Gawler  Health Service Exhibition Curator
• Thelma Kirkwood - Program Co-ordinator
• Joanne Hughes - Publicity.
• Colleen 'Col' Moyne - Roster Co-ordinator

Congratulations to all successful nominees.

AGM Outcomes

One issue that was voted on at the AGM was the constitutional rule that no committee member is permitted to serve for more than 5 consecutive years. The meeting was asked whether this rule should be removed to allow those wishing to serve longer the ability to do so (in light of the ongoing difficulties associated with finding new committee members that the gallery had in 2012 - with former committee members resuming roles unofficially because of the restriction).

Removal of the rule was put to a vote with the majority in favor of having the limitation removed.

Fringe Benefits Exhibition - Entries now open

Entries are now invited from all artists to paint a canvas for our upcoming Fringe Benefits Exhibition being held as part of Adelaide's Fringe Festival during February and March.
