Visions of Pleasure
Project Summary
"Visions of Pleasure". For the past twelve years the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery has been conducting art workshops for adults with disabilities. Participants from Goulburn Day Program, DADHC, have come every Monday and younger adults from Essential Personnel attended afternoon sessions. For many, these workshops are the highlight of their week. They are also fortunate enough to have original artworks in the changing exhibitions and the Gallery's permanent Collection to look at for inspiration. To showcase the works produced and to celebrate the International Day of People with a Disability, two exhibitions were held in 2006 and 2007 at the Goulburn Branch Library titled "Vision of Pleasure". These exhibitions were a wonderful celebration for the participants. They have given them a wider audience to appreciate their work, instilled a sense of pride and affirmed their extraordinary abilities in this area.
