JAMES ROGERS' INFLUENCE ON WALCHA'S PUBLIC ART

It should be noted that James Rogers has been a strong advocate for Walcha's Open Air Gallery (OAG) of Sculptures and Artworks. Through his commitment to quality, his generosity of time, advice and sourcing works for the OAG he has contributed greatly to what stands before us today.

Walcha is incredibly fortunate to have so many highly regarded artists that live locally and champion the importance of accessible art in regional areas.
