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 celebrate its centenary, 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.

In this creative collaboration we have also worked with Gorman artist Paul Summerfield to create a bespoke label that features one of our iconic trees.
