On July 24, at Dante's Restaurant the Fitzroy History Society launched
a history of Gertrude Street. The book was lauched by Rose Chong. The
book details property by property and gives a brief overview of its
age and previous uses. Gertrude Street has a rich history with many
diverse changes occurring from its very early history as one of
Melbourne's first streets beyond the city of Melbourne boundary.

The books are avaliable for sale at $10 each from Dante's Restaurant
and the Fitzroy Library. We hope you enjoy the information there.

Thank you to our sponsors

Successful meeting with Yarra City Council

TGAadmin — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:49:03 +1000

The picture above shows City of Yarra Award Recipents at the Richmond Town Hall.

The City of Yarra liked the idea for the first outside walk, ride and drive-through gallery on Gertrude Street, but there were a number of financial and legal factors that meant we wouldn't be able to start with theoriginal solar gallery idea.

Lucky for us they also loved the Digital Media Street Festival idea! So, with a slight change of our project schedule we decided to make it our first big project.

The Gertrude Association was born!

On 17th of April 2007 the collaborative partnership between Monique McNamara and Kym Ortenburg began.

Monique had the desire to produce a community engagement art project since 2003 having worked on Gertrude Street for 2 years. The project 'Gertrufied' began under the Sprinkler.cc banner and was posted on the UP&UP Creative website looking for the right collaborator to make it happen.

Kym wanted to celebrate the Gertrude Street community after moving from Sydney into the Fitzroy community.
