Anzac Day

Gallery Update

There will be a lot of Commemorative Services throughout Australia, so on behalf of all our Members and Committee I would like to take the time to say-                        
     'Lest We Forget' 
     and Thank you 
       to anyone who has served our country 
                                 in times of war.
This ANZAC day the gallery will NOT be open in the morning, so as to Honor ALL our Soldiers, Medical Services, and Animals who have fought in ALL wars during the last 100 years. 

The Gallery will re-open at 1.pm on ANZAC Day and Close at 4.pm

'Hippy Divas' Exhibition by Portia Stanton-Noble and Pamela Zanker.
This is a joint exhibition presented by two artists who are also good friends. The theme for this exhibition is a celebration of independent women from hippies to Divas. 
Portia has taken a series of photographs from local areas around Springton, Eden Valley and Gumeracha capturing moments set in the past and present, for the future. In a sense this is also a history exhibition. Portia says- “ I have a lot of vintage clothing which I have put to good use for this series, and I enjoy taking photos of people in unexpected situations”.  We all look forward to seeing her work.
Pamelas artwork has been inpired and influenced by many people, among them are “Coco Chanel. Picasso and John Waterhouse.
