The Friends of Grafton Gallery’s guest speaker at 10.30am will be Justin Putze, the Manager of Culture, Community and Industry within the Corporate and Governance Division of Clarence Valley Council.

Justin has one of the most diverse portfolios within Council as he manages the Community Engagement Section, Communications Section, the Tourism and Industry Engagement Team, the four regional Libraries and the Grafton Regional Gallery.

Justin is also the project sponsor for the two significant community infrastructure projects being the Maclean Community Precinct and the Yamba Community Hub Projects.

Join Justin as he speaks about these two exciting community projects and the opportunities they will present for growth in the Arts space. The Friends of Grafton Gallery support the Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award (JADA) through membership and fund-raising functions. There is no charge for the morning and Rubony’s Café will be open for the purchase of refreshments. Please book through Eventbrite to secure your place for the June 15 meeting.
