We are hoping it will be an outlet for our work and have artists meet other artists.

After we are incorporated, we will be heading up an election of officers. Having a place to display visual art would also be wonderful.

They had nothing out here for us; we would have to go down to Fort Lauderdale. Instead of running down to Fort Lauderdale, we could stay in our own area and do art.

I'd prefer they didn't show them or accept them. They certainly looked like the artists' work, but if the West Australian gallery was interested in works from the Western Desert, you'd like to think they'd come to us directly.

If you've never been to the Paper Boat, we have over 100 artists' work on sale in the store.
