Fundraiser exhibition at Chrissie Cotter Gallery - ArtStaff #8
Tuesday, 17 September 2019
Inner West Council’s Chrissie Cotter Gallery is the venue for the eighth annual fundraising exhibition by 40 staff from the Art Gallery of NSW.
All the exhibiting artists work in some capacity at the Art Gallery of NSW.
“We began exhibiting together in 2012,” said ArtStaff spokeswoman, Emma Smith. “We have always exhibited at Chrissie Cotter Gallery. It is a peaceful and warm gallery space,” she said.

All works are for sale through a silent auction on opening night.
