Sons of Beaches
Wednesday, February 22, 2012Coinciding with the 2012 Quicksilver Pro and the inaugural Bleach Festival of Surf Culture, Sons of Beaches features a surf documentary and installation that examines the development of surfing in the 1970s and the somewhat subversive culture which surrounds the period, as well as a look at this significant time in Australia’s living memory. Produced by Glenn Blight and Geoff Charters, the film features original footage from a 16mm surf film by Steve Core which was shown at the 1972 World Titles. Don’t miss your chance to experience this white hot period in Australian surfing history.

2010 Life Benefactor's Dinner
Saturday, July 17, 2010The Arts Centre Gold Coast bestowed the highest honour of ‘Life Benefactor’ on three of its major donors in recognition of their significant contribution to the city’s Art Gallery at a Benefactors’ Recognition Dinner held at the Centre on Saturday 17 July, 2010. Mr Patrick Corrigan AM and Mrs Barbara Corrigan and, separately, Mrs Win Schubert on behalf of The Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Foundation for the Arts, were recognised for their generous donations approximating $3 million to the Gold Coast City Art Fund. Since 1995, the Corrigan’s have donated over $2 million in artworks including some commissioned works and purchases made specifically for the collection. During the same period they have encouraged other collectors and artists to donate an additional $2.5 million of works to the Gallery. Mrs Win Schubert, through her Foundation for the Arts, has donated over $1 million in artworks since 1986 as well as supporting the annual Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award and support for the Gold Coast International Ceramic Art Award. Her contribution comprises 225 artworks including those acquired as part of the annual photography award, ceramic award and Gold Coast Art Prize. There are enough artworks donated by these three that if placed end to end would be twice the height of Q1. The evening was greatly enjoyed by the recipients and attendees alike and celebrates another milestone in The Arts Centre’s long and vibrant history.
