It is my calling and I am simply doing my best to comply.

This Sydney outpost of Australian Galleries has just had its thirty year anniversary.

Happy anniversary Sydney!

Among galleries in Australia, Australian Galleries stands alone in having stood the test of post-colonial time.

When other galleries have keeled over from exhaustion, Stuart has not only not wavered in his enthusiasm, but is expanding, with his support of sculpture and the sculpture park soon to open Porcupine Ridge in Victoria.
