Planning for Workshops in 2018

Before we discussed anything at the meeting we let everyone know about Melva's predicament.
 We all wish her a speedy recovery and heartily agreed to send some flowers to her at The RAH. These should arrive on Monday.


After a couple of hectic months it is time to regroup and begin planning workshops and exhibitions for 2018.

 But first we would like to acknowledge the extra input of members during the last couple of months.

 We estimate that about 1500 people have visited the gallery during this busy period and as usual most were impressed with the visual aspect of the gallery and the quality of the products we have. Many still comment on how cheap things are.

 We have introduced 6 new members to door duty procedures and value the input by members who keep the gallery open for visitors. 

 If anyone would like to use the gallery as a studio space and keep the door open more often we would be delighted.

 Thanks also to the people who do all the behind the scenes chores such as floors, dusting, filling in the gaps after sales, tidying storage areas, emptying and putting out the bins, washing their own cups  etc. etc..



We are on the way to planning the calendar for workshops and exhibitions for 2018.

 May-June2023 This year there has seen an unfortunate spate of broken windows, graffiti and other damage at the railway station. Thank you to all members who have:  * reported breakages, and the presence of youths frequenting the building in the evenings. Please contact police if this continues. *come forward to assist with cleaning up broken glass and rearranging areas of the gallery and store rooms. * alerted Port Augusta Secondary School about students loitering around the railway station. On Thursday 8th June personnel from Department Infrastructure and Transport  and Ventia visited the Railway Station and Gallery to assess how things might be improved. Discussion included replacing glass with perspex.... (other additional features can't be added due to the heritage listing of the building). Floors and walls were also measured in readiness for repair and painting following the storm damage last year so there will be some disruptions to the gallery sometime in the near future. T

Thanks to the members who attended the opening it was great to get back to socialising after the restrictive covid years. Thanks to Morgan and Carly for the images. Georgie's scarves depicted some of the techniques she has explored over time including screen printing, marbling, photography, pastels, ink painting and digital drawings and designs.  PORT AUGUSTA FRINGE  Venues and artists have been invited to be part of the FRINGE in Port Augusta during February/March in 2024.
