Planning for 2018

At the meeting on Saturday 25th November we discussed our program for 2018.

 This is the stage we are at... with times to be confirmed...asap please.


Recently there have been some discussions about how to prepare images of work for sale online and the possibility of an online presence. Currently the group promotes gallery activities and artists look after their own enterprise. There are some strategies which can help artists to promote their work in the best light. If people are interested in knowing more about preparing images for online sales there is a workshop on 3rd March.

 This is how Curdnatta promotes artists.....
        1.Google presence art gallery port augusta
            best add your reviews to bump up the profile.

       2.Our Facebook page reaches a wide range of people and promotes all activities at the gallery.

https://www.facebook.com/CURDNATTAGALLERY/

Recent posts have reached over 1000 people 
Christmas promotion ... 1599 people reached.

When people "like" our page or "like"  posts on the page it lifts our profile.
If you ask friends to "like" our page it has a greater reach.



    3.We currently have several members who have online sites where they promote or sell their work and if people ring the gallery from interstate looking for local work we suggest they go to these sites.

 We promote these artists through our Curdnatta Global group at our Facebook Page. However this also depends on members of the group adding posts about their activities and successes.

 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

  A member since 1973 Georgie Sharp celebrated 50 years involvement with the Arts and Curdnatta Art Group with an exhibition at Yarta Purtli gallery this month. 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.
