Art moves into the Western suburbs




New Exhibition at The Highway - corner Anzac Highway / Marion Road
'The Wishlist'
20th June - 19th August 2009

"I’m delighted that Martin Palmer and his senior team at The Highway (Group General Manager, Tony Symonds and General Manager, Simon Adami) have been so positive about the suggestion of (Food Operations Manager) Tom Williamson, to exhibit contemporary art on an ongoing basis: even more delighted that we at Greenhill have been invited to handle this exciting new development. We’ve chosen strong, established and promising new artists for this Inaugural Exhibition which we expect will be the fore runner of many. That is why we have invited innovative young South Australian designer Matthew Travis Simpson to launch this series in the superb newly revamped dining and function spaces of “The Highway”

What was not long ago a pub where you could play the pokies and see some frugally clad ladies has been transformed into a civilised, accessible to all, cultural space in the Western suburbs.
The Greenhill Gallery's bold move to seize the opportunity will be no doubt followed by others.
Talk about vision: The Stefan Maguran gallery is just a few steps away.
