I wish to announce an exhibition, What's Newtown to you?, that i am currently working towards, for showing, initially in May at Pine St gallery in Chippendale

keep an eye on http://newt0wn.blogspot.com/ the exhibition blog

What picture can tell the story of Newtown? What's it stand for?
Who embodies the place? (feel free to nominate yourself - commissions are welcome)
Local artist John O'Driscoll is currently painting images of Newtown
(including landscapes, portraits, & abstractions) for exhibition at a local gallery in May 2005.
Diverse centre of small business, the last bastion of freedom, yuppietown, freakville,
or what? What's Newtown to you? Contribute your ideas, stories, point out favourite views.
Suggest subjects, angles and themes. Engage a commission.
All donations are welcome - in cash or kind. Many things are required, from paint and canvas to opening night nibblies, with a whole lot of publicising in between.
