Open Art Forum Saturday 24th October 2009

The open forum produced many ideas for the gallery.  There was great interest in seeing more art education for beginners or people new to art and painting.  Some members have volunteered to put together a program of instruction and will then advertise times, dates and costs.  Keep your eyes open!  Details of our first art lessons will be posted soon!  There were many other ideas and these will be discussed at our General Meetings.


NEXT GENERAL MEETING IS ON MELBOURNE CUP DAY!  All you race betting winners (and losers) please take the time to drop into the gallery at 5:15pm Tuesday 3rd November for the meeting.  Hope to see you there.

Open Forum - Imagine the Possibilities!

Good turn out for our first General Meeting under new Management Committee.

We had 13 members and 1 guest attend.  Also new applications for membership.

A date has been decided for an open forum to plan for future events.  Adverts will be posted and the community asked for ideas.
===================================================================

Come along to an Open Forum!  

Ideas and suggestions welcome!  Have your say!   No idea to wild.   All welcome to join in.  We'll collect all the ideas, refine what is possible, produce a finished list and do up our plan.

WHEN:  10am to 1pm Saturday 24th October

WHERE:  Elizabeth Guzsely Gallery 125 Charlotte Street

Devonshire Teas, coffee, muffins, yummy eats to help you think.

What would you like to see happening in the gallery?  What exhibitions?  What groups or activities?  

Think - Location!  Location!  Location!  We have a gallery in the centre of town!  Ah, the possibilities!

What great potential for the future of the arts in Cooktown.  The more support we can generate the more likelyhood of funding opportunities and expansion in the future.  Think big!
