Walkway Gallery shouts out for more art

Breathing fresh life into the corridors at Tatura Community House is a new and clever initiative that has brought art and community together.

Named the ‘Walkway Gallery’ late last year, the space allows artists to display their talents while fostering connections with the community and beyond.

The first three featured artists have received incredible feedback, commissioned work and sold pieces.

However, the time has come to shine a light on new artists, and Tatura Community House manager Tom Boocock is calling for people to apply.

“Professionals, non-professionals, it doesn’t matter. This is an amazing opportunity for artists to get noticed or kick-start a career,” Tom said.

“We have the space and the ability to adapt to all different types of artists, so whether an artist applies individually or maybe as a group, we are open to ideas and collaborations.

“We also have an outdoor secured area that could allow artists to showcase their sculptures, feature a curated series of exhibitions, workshops or events that cater to a diverse range of artistic tastes and interests.”

For a small donation of just $50 and an agreed contribution of 20 per cent commission back to the Tatura Community House on all artworks sold, artworks are displayed for six weeks in the gallery.

Tom said the application process was as simple as filling out a form on its website or calling them.

“It’s a simple process,” he said.

“Hopefully it stays a sustainable model for the Tatura Community

House for many years to come.

“It’s an excellent opportunity for artists, and it’s equally incredible to see new faces coming in to look at the artwork.

“And it’s simultaneously exposing our wonderful Tatura community to the wider community.”
