Artist and Griffith University alumna, Victoria Reichelt posted on Instagram yesterday (4 December) that Griffith University Art Museum (GUAM) ‘is under consideration for closure as early as next year’.
Reichelt wrote: ‘The loss of this amazing cultural asset for Queensland and Australia would diminish the reputation of Griffith University, and reverberate for many years as an extremely myopic decision that will devastate the visual arts community of Queensland and the University teaching staff and students. Loss of the Griffith University Art Museum will also lower the University’s attractiveness to future students of visual arts and design.’
