However because of the high level of interest in having a gathering of this kind to discuss the role of contemporary art in the future of Gosford, and of a coordinated Creative Gosford initiative, the event will be rescheduled for early next year.
A fortunate outcome, despite the, rain, was that the Guest Speaker Associate Professor Adrian Hall had a chance to meet and talk to a number of Gosford artists. He has expressed a strong interest in returning to offer whatever help he can. His international expertise in education and contemporary practice will be a welcome contribution to strengthening skills and focusing professional opportunities in the region.
Discussions will be continuing with him regarding his role in the formation of an independent tertiary “contemporary art college” in Gosford to service some of the region’s educational needs locally.
Until the next Gaff on the Green, we will use the time to develop ideas before returning to Kibble Park. If you have some topics you would like to add to the conversation, please email them to us , and perhaps some informal discussions can be arranged soon.
