Flickr Galleries


Caz & I set up a Flickr account for the Arts Centre's Collections some time ago with a view to eventually being part of The Commons.

I was suprised to find that other flickr users have uploaded some great photos from inside Hamer Hall and tagged them as Performing Arts Collection.

Check out our so far very "modest" efforts at a Flickr Stream here. Flickr provides an interesting Curatorial outlet for us - Sets or Galleries can be created with up to 18 images. It could be a set of quirky or unusual images you stumble across during research; a selection a favourites; or musings and selections featuring the colour yellow - whatever you like!

The focus is on interesting photography, and we are not short of resources in this regard. So lets delve into the collection and create some small galleries without the usual constraints of the physical gallery environment.

I'm hopeful that we'll be able to get some conversations started in the comments about unidentified photographs from our collections, and potentially crowd-source some info about them. Got an interesting image you need help identifying? Lets put it on our flickr stream and see what people think!

  1. I should add - the call to "Interestingness" comes from a popular Flickr stream of the same name.

  2. Great work Ro. I'm looking for 'interesting' images for use in the Page to Stage project so I'll let you know what I come up with!
