Dyed Products by Vicki Fox will be exhibited from Thursday April 5th. 
YOUTH WEEK EXHIBITION from April 13th - 27th
We are currently looking at ways to increase our volunteers at The Platform with the view of opening the gallery more often especially during the tourist season.
The Curdnatta Art Group is an approved organisation with Centrelink and we have updated our details so that we can approach organisations such as MADEC, WORKSKILL, Regional Development Board etc. Members who feel they can benefit from volunteer arrangements are encouraged to investigate this opportunity.

 We encourage everyone to voice their concern about the proposed changes to The Port Augusta Cultural Centre. 

 Tammy will be sending out information to everyone about Beyond Bank's Community Rewards system. You might like to consider nominating Curdnatta Art Group so that we can benefit from Beyond Bank's generosity.

 We would like to welcome Nicola Butler as a member to the gallery. Nicola brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh style which will expand the offerings of our existing art works.

 You can see some of her work at her webpage.

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
