Community Art Exhibition
The Fruits of Labour: Celebrating 100 years of Irrigation Research and the CSIRO

Artists from the community were invited to contribute to this Exhibition, highlighting the legacy of the CSIRO in Griffith. The Australian Citrus Research Station was established in Griffith in 1924, and later became part of the CSIR and then the CSIRO in 1949, focusing on Irrigation and Water Research. This exhibition will showcase CSIRO memorabilia and artworks depicting its importance to the community.

A fresh and delicious lunch will be supplied and alternate meals for those with dietary requirements can be accommodated for.
