Art & VolunteeringThe Committee - An Introduction Sue MorleyHeather KarmelHelen BulisCharlotte MeekinsTania IngersonWe thank Max Mastrosavas for being a part of setting up this project."Inspired by .... Art & Volunteering" Project for 2026We are a group of 26 volunteers from the Art Gallery of South Australia.  As well as a passion for art, we love volunteering and giving back to our community.  This exhibition is our first as a group of friends who met through their passion for art and volunteering.Our art practices are diverse – we are printmakers, textile artists, painters; we make drawings and we create soundscapes, we are photographers and mixed media artists to name a few.   Some of us are emerging artists and some have been practising professionally for a significant time.  This is our first exhibition as a group.Our volunteering roles include being Gallery Guides where we introduce visitors to the wonderful permanent and temporary exhibitions held at the Gallery;  Front of House volunteers who welcome and direct visitors around the Gallery and others who assist the Gallery Librarians.One of the first things we did as a group was have a competition to create our own logo:Our theme for this exhibition – Inspired By…….   has challenged us all to create something that inspires us - an artist, an art movement, a loved one, a writer, a piece of music, a pet or even something from our garden.
