This week was the best week ever. The opening ceremony was held in this week and it was so fantastic and unforgettable. Our gallery is situated within the heart of Burwood, in the old court-house. Built in 1900, some of the rooms in the Council Chambers were used for courts in Burwood up until 1907. Federation in style, with its distinctive stone arches and rendered brick facade, the court-house in now the present day Burwood Gallery. Every three weeks, we will host a new exhibition.

This exhibition will allow you to see how art are influenced by the artist heritage and also the culture surround them. Sometimes artists see present, future and sometimes they look back and reminisce. The exhibition is ranging from Contemporary to the traditional art forms. You can feel the effects of bi-cultural influences on their art as you have yet to experience. Consequently, our gallery aims to provide a multicultural experience for its experience for its audiences an engagement with art, to create and foster strong connections between Australia and the word, to promote easily accessible and culturally enlightening dialogues. I was so excited about this exhibiton, because I was a member in market group. I did some researches for it. Firsly, I knew different kinds of art works so that I can savor them in different angels. In addition, according to my media advertisement research, it really does help to propagandize the exhibition so that more and more people come to have a visit. I feel good and satisfied with everything. I made it.
How exciting to be part of an inaugural exhibition!!! Wow, what an experience! Well done!
回复删除It is great that your Gallery has so much history behind it, before it is even open. And from the photos, the old Federation style looks perfect for the location and the exhibition content.
It was wonderful reading your post, and hearing the passion and excitement in your writing. It is clear that you are really enjoying your internship and all the benefits and experiences it provides. It is nice to read something so positive, especially after reading a few other student's blog posts which are not as positive.
Congratulations, can't wait to read more!
