Our beautiful friends McClelland and the home of our sister market McClelland Makers Market needs your help!! Please read below and get involved to make sure this iconic space is here for many more years to come!! Repost • McClelland McClelland is under threat of closing. Please read, share and spread the word.
For more than 50 years, McClelland has been a place for your community to experience sculpture, contemporary art, music, education, nature and so much more.
A place where children discover art.
Where artists share their work.
Where families make memories.
Where people come to walk, explore, learn, create and connect.
But right now, McClelland’s future is at risk.
DID YOU KNOW?
McClelland welcomes 60,000 visitors every year, yet government funding works out at just $2 per visitor. By comparison, similar galleries receive around $20–$30 in public funding per visitor.
That’s a significant difference.
McClelland is a not-for-profit charity, and provides a huge range of cultural, educational and community experiences for thousands of people every year.
McClelland needs all levels of government to coordinate a sustainable funding solution to ensure it can remain open for future generations.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Help show decision makers that McClelland matters, and that your community wants to see it here for generations to come, by SIGNING OUR PETITION, emailing your council, state and federal representatives via link in bio McClelland
This is about more than saving a gallery.
It’s about protecting a place for all to enjoy.
KEEP ART HERE.
KEEP CULTURE HERE.
KEEP NATURE HERE.
KEEP WONDER HERE.
KEEP MCCLELLAND HERE.
