 We launched our ART IN FULL BLOOM at the SPRING SOIREE on September 24th. If you weren't there you missed a lovely evening surrounded by great art and good people.  The catering team provided a stunning supper as usual. Stylists had the gallery looking spectacular and we thank the Port Augusta Garden Club for providing some gorgeous displays that made the gallery come alive.  John Sharp's laid back music completed the vibe and  visitors complimented us on our efforts. This months Family Activities day was well attended with feedback indicating people enjoy attending. It wont be long before we need to consider whether we want to continue in 2026. If this is to happen we will need more volunteer artists as the few people who participated the last 2 years are running out of ideas. The Photographer's new theme is "HATS".
