Artist in residence Sue Gunningham

Next date: Thursday, 13 March 2025 | 04:00 AM to Sunday, 30 March 2025 | 05:00 PM

During this residency, Sue Gunningham will be working on a 3rd memoir. Based on her childhood years in the melting pot of Northcote in the 1950s, she hopes to showcase the sense of community that developed in this diverse mix of newly arrived migrants, war service families, battlers and government housing tenants.

Tolerance and empathy led to respect, dignity, growing friendships and shared joys and sorrows.

Come along and see Sue at work in the studio, view different writing samples and have a chat.
