Gawler Art Society has been presented with the Every Generation Creative Arts finalist award.
The award is for recognition of an exceptional group that has made an ongoing contribution to the cultural life of South Australia through involvement in the arts.
Carol Green, from the Gawler Art Society said, “I think being one of the two finalists is a great achievement for the art society and hopefully we can win the award for Gawler and the Barossa on October 30.”
COTA SA, the state’s peak seniors’ organisation, is holding its annual Every Generation Festival for the duration of October, which incorporates the prestigious Positive Ageing Awards.
The awards recognise and honour South Australian individuals and organisations that exemplify positive ageing and challenge the stereotypes of ageing in our society.
