The Warburton Arts Project, with Gary Proctor

Helen speaks with Gary Proctor, the Coordinator of the Warburton Arts Project and Curator of the Warburton Collection and Tjulyuru Regional Gallery. He shares an insight into the history of the Warburton Arts Project and how he came to be involved. Gary explains how the Warburton Collection came to be, the one painting that began it all 3 decades ago and how it's now grown to over 900 paintings. Helen and Gary then discuss the plans to expand the Tjulyuru Regional Gallery to create a exhibition centre on the Great Central Road at Warburton and build cultural tourism in the region.
