Gorman 100
Your Stories, Our History

Gorman Arts Centre (formerly Gorman House) was built in 1924. Originally a hostel for public servants, this central heritage-listed facility holds a rich and layered history where people have lived, worked, performed and explored their creativity.

To commemorate this milestone, we are collecting stories, from the mundane to the controversial, about Gorman, to celebrate its rich history. We need your help to make this possible!

If you have a story you’d like to share, or know someone that might, please share this project.
