Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery (SRAG) is moving to the Civic Centre corner of Lock Street and Marsh Street. The long-awaited renovation is beginning. The existing Gallery/Library in Weeroona Park will be closed for renovations for an undetermined time. SRAG is looking forward to working with the community to ensure that they can deliver exhibitions, workshops, and events albeit a little differently. Change can be tricky and a big thanks to the staff, volunteers, SDRC and our community for their ongoing support.
