Portrait Project at The World Theatre Gallery Nov 2015

EXCITING NEWS!
The Portrait Project is being exhibited at The World Theatre Gallery during November 2015!

An exciting initiative begun in 2010 by photographer Karen Tenni, participants were selected or nominated from Charters Towers Residents (approx 8,500 in the region) and cover a broad spectrum of professions, ages and cultural backgrounds, providing a diverse study of Australian regional life.  

Begun in 2010, with the support of the Regional Art Development Fund (RADF) - a Qld government and Charters Towers Regional Council partnership, the exhibition at the Don Roderick Gallery in October 2011 was celebration of the first part of a multi-stage project.
