Opened to the public!


We opened the Church Studio to the public for the first time as part of Focus of the Franklin festival and Charles's birthday on April 5th and 6th. We showed a collection of photographs first exhibited at the Queensland Centre for Photography by Charles Zuber. Pat Zuber exhibited some prints that were produced in Brisbane also in 2006-7.

So whilst the space was clearly unfinished it was important for us to open up the church for the visitors to Franklin that weekend. Though now, it is back in the hands of the builders after the Huon council approved the construction works to date -on the 22nd April. So far, we are pleased with the progress towards the conversion of an 1862 heritage listed building into a working space for the 21st century. Bring in the plasterer!
