| Members of the group share the costs and time involved in running and manning the gallery, which allows members to have their work on show without a gallery mark-up, as well as having time to produce work. It also gives members a venue for experimental and creative work, without having to produce an exhibition body of work.
The PAG has regular meetings to manage the operation of the gallery on a democratic basis. One of the main agenda items at these meetings is to consider requests for consignment with the most important criteria being that the article is original, locally-made and of high quality. The gallery now stocks the work of approximately 40 other Tasmanian craft artists. Our consignment craft work is not sold elsewhere in Richmond Village.
Most visitors comment on the quality and the uniqueness of the gallery. |
