''Artist studios, including J Shed, should be subject to turnover''
''Artist studios, including J Shed, should be subject to turnover''
*There is an assumption running through the recent documentation from the City that it is good to have regular turnover in all artist studios. Some people have expressed the view that ‘someone else needs a go’ with the J Shed studios.

*As outlined above, Jenny Dawson and Greg James have successfully operated creative businesses at J Shed for 20 years. They are NOT subsidised artist studios. The City would not produce a document that talked about the need for turnover in any other successful business operation on the basis that it had been there too long and ‘someone else needed a go’ (e.g. Culley’s Tearooms). Why do this to artists?

*The successful artists at J Shed maintain a tradition that was established in the area with Joan Campbell’s Pottery Studio at the old kerosene store at Bather’s Beach. Joan’s presence and her support of young ceramists was highly prized and contributed to Fremantle’s reputation in the 70s and 80s as a City of Artists.
