‘IN MEMORIAM’ A CROSS SECTION OF WORKS BY THE LATE MARY GILLIGAN EXHIBITION HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL JULY 2010To do justice to the extensive collection of artworks and record of community involvement left behind by Mary Gilligan the ‘In Memoriam’ exhibition will be postponed until July 2010, the anniversary of her birthday. This will allow more time to properly collect, display and recount Mary’s legacy.
Mary Gilligan was a prominent member of the Waitakere arts community, a dedicated teacher, talented artist and an enthusiastic local historian. Mary did not keep many of her works. Her paintings generously gifted to friends and acquaintances, now reside in homes across Auckland. Corban Estate Arts Centre curator Lisa Rogers, would like to hear from anyone who owns one of Mary’s works so that it can be considered for the exhibition in July.
