Venue wanted for History Exhibition
In 2009, the Association sourced 39 historical images from the Adelaide Library History Trust archives, printed them on canvas and displayed them at The South West Community Centre and Box Factory in that year. Since then, these scenes from City South's past have been in storage.
City South Association is now looking for a hospitality venue (eg Hotel, Cafe, Gallery etc) within the Precinct to host an Exhibition in May 2017 as part of History Month. The space should be publicly accessible during normal operating hours and this will be a good promotional opportunity for the venue, with City South bearing the costs of exhibition. The venue needs a decent amount of hanging space, so that as many images can be displayed as possible.
If any venues are interested in hosting this Exhibition, we ask that you get in touch with City South's Coordinator Andrew Petes at coordinator@citysouth.org.au. With the deadline to register with History SA being February 1, we ask that you register your interest with us by Friday January 20. For more details, please download the Exhibition Brief here.
