Contemporary artist Yana Taylor is seeking donations of old family photographs for her upcoming exhibition Small Acts, Long Ripples in Campbelltown Arts Centre.

The artist says the photographs need to be old images, printed hard copies and feature memories of loved ones, including mums, aunts and kids.

“It would be great if people are having a good time in the photos, but it is not essential,’’ she says.

“They don’t have to be fancy, perfect or composed. The donated photographs will be presented within the exhibition, handled by visitors and might not be returned to donors. We will look after the photos as best as possible.’’

A selection of photographs donated by the public and Yana Taylor will be rotated in the gallery space throughout the exhibition period, April13 to June 22. 

Send or deliver your photos to:

Attn: Isabelle Morgan, Curator Contemporary Visual Art
Campbelltown Arts Centre
1 Art Gallery Road
Campbelltown NSW 2560

Campbelltown residents can now have their say on council’s draft memorial and monuments in public open space policy.

The amended policy aims to give clarity to anyone applying for a monument or memorial on space owned by council. This provides an improved application process to ensure all the community can use and enjoy the beautiful Council spaces.

The policy will also ensure the ongoing maintenance of fixed memorials or monuments after they are built.

Full details on the draft policy are available at overtoyou.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au
