GALLERY GUIDE

Post 10

With the new exhibitions opening over the seven galleries, there was a demand for tours from various local community groups and school groups. I was asked to assist with the tours, so after following a tour with one of the curators, and doing my own research, I took an afternoon TAFE group through the galleries.

This was a huge learning opportunity for me to research and connect with the local exhibiting artists and communities, and the extra research did assist me to be able to program art activities that were more appropriate for this centre.

I never got to take another tour through, as the demand for tours for that exhibition soon died. I would have liked to do a few more after all the research I had done.

Some time was spent restocking the art studio with materials and activity sheets, and some cleaning up. The education manager was very kind to me as she mostly did the cleaning up.
