to demonstrate the power of partnering
business with art.
in 2010 the gallery and santos received
the prestigious australian business arts

which recognised the alignment of
energy and interests between our two

continued the popular xstrata coal

constructions, gadens Lawyers and

with tourism authorities (tourism
queensland, brisbane marketing,

industry are acknowledged as a
successful model for cultural tourism
cooperative marketing.
