 Ann Williams-Fitzgerald
Cheryl Eagers
In 2007 Orange Gecko Art Network through Ann Williams-Fitzgerald, identified a huge need for the established local regional artists to be able to complete their post-graduate studies without having to relocate from regional Qld to undertake that study. Ann was therefore instrumental in persuading the University of Tasmania’s School of Visual and Performing Arts, Head of School Professor Vincent McGrath to travel to Mackay with the view of offering post-graduate studies in Mackay from 2008.
The visit proved highly successful and there are now over 45 artists studying and completing their Master of Contemporary Arts through the Mackay external program which started in a community partnership with CQUniversity at the Mackay Campus. Many Orange Gecko Art Network group members have gone on to complete their postgraduate degrees through this community partnership.
Ann has now relocated back to her home state of Tasmania and launched a new not-for-profit incorporated group in George Town with the view to support artists in the Tamar Valley region in Northern Tasmania.
