From the Maitland Mercury report:
Maitland’s hidden treasure – the city’s society of artists – has been looking for a place to call home for more than a decade.
Rutherford author Marilyn Foster has devoted a chapter to the society’s search in her book about the Maitland Region Society of Artists, called The First Decade. Crime writer and artist Barry Maitland will launch the book at the Masonic Hall, Grant Street, Maitland on Friday, August 13 at 6pm before the society’s art exhibition is opened.
