The proposed sale of the Walker Street Gallery by Greater Dandenong Council is short-sighted.
It shows a lack of vision and I will continue to fight against it on the outside as I did for eight years on the inside as a Councillor.
The former City of Dandenong purchased the building in 1988, converting the old Dandenong Fire Station and converting it to create the Fire Station Community Arts Centre and Gallery.
Over the years it morphed into the Walker Street Gallery but the community arts component was still there, most recently with Connections Art Space as tenants.
The issue was lack of space – there wasn’t enough space for a both a professional arts gallery and a community arts centre.
