Shop Updates

From Colleen & Dianne at The Shop 

Today at the Gallery is at least the 2nd week in a row that we have had a decent number of visitors through the door. Numbers appear to be on the up & up, YEAH....  (A BIG well done to ALL our Helpers)

Wheel Chair Access now has a DOOR BELL placed in the Lower Left of our Notice Board, just outside the door on the veranda, (many thanks to Colleen & Gordon for donating that) It is plugged into a power socket in the shop. 

We now have a new Vacuum and it is a pleasure to use, especially on the stairs, SOOO much safer.  

The Shop is looking HOT, HOT, HOT,  come on down and have a look, purchase a gift for that special someone, we now have a FANTASTIC range of items available at  VERY reasonable prices.

Everything from: paintings, framed & mounted, Pottery- plates, humorous miniatures, Egg cups, mini pots, Large pots, Wind Chimes ( Just Gorgeous)

 Silk & wool Scarves & Hats, Miniature Paintings, Book Marks, Gift Cards, Blank Cards for Birthdays etc, 

Jewellery for the Adults & the Children- Bracelets & kits, Earrings, & Necklaces. 

I have probably forgotten something, the list seems endless. It is FABULOUS to see so many of our Members supporting the Gallery Shop and their Gallery so well.

We have made so many changes recently and everything is coming together very nicely. We now have - "Pottery Place" for all our pottery to be grouped together where it looks FAB,

"Kids Corner" obviously for Childrens' items and 

"Accessory Bay" for extraneous items such as Jewellery, Scarves, Coat Hangers & more.

 I hope you all enjoyed our little Expose' of  The Gawler Community Gallery Shop this week, we would love to see you and hear how you like us, Cheers Dianne

Gallery News

News Letter due soon

The next newsletter is due out soon and when it arrives I will pass on all the relevant updates.
There will be news about the forthcoming AGM, so keep that in mind and perhaps consider taking on a role this time around. There will be plenty of support if you have never held a committee position before.

Some of the Exhibitions from July/ August, will cross over during SALA  and new ones will come in for August September. This means that unlike other years we will have up to 6 Exhibitions occurring throughout SALA.
