Included in regular activities are art classes, exhibition tours, artists' talks, lectures, workshops, and performances. ==Collection of artwork and exhibitions== The Perc Tucker Regional Gallery has established an overall theme for the collection which is reflected also in the Gallery's exhibitions, education and public relations programs. The theme is intended to give overall unity to the collection and to assist with the interpretation to the public. The theme adopted – The Tropics – forms the central motif for the collection as a whole and relevance to this theme is the foremost criterion for the acquisition of works of art. The Tropics, as a thematic umbrella for the entire collection, is interpreted broadly. Emphasis is placed on the construction of the tropics as an idea as well as on the tropics as a particular geographic location. Emphasis is naturally placed on art made in the tropics which responds to the immediate environment, hence the priority given to the art of Tropical North Queensland. The Gallery also collects art made elsewhere which is seen as being relevant to ideas of cultural construction, spatial history and the identification of place. Works in all media are held in the collection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perc Tucker Regional Gallery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
