Myra James’ exhibition on Responsible Driving – YOLO: You Only Live Once
has attracted considerable interest from across the NSW north coast.
Local MP Ritchie Williamson visited the exhibition and spoke at length to Myra early in March.
On Thursday 14 March she hosted a special visit by several members of the NSW Ministry of Transport’s Community and Safety Team. Members who are based in regional centres from Tweed Heads to Port Macquarie were keen to view for themselves the diverse range of artworks that target young drivers. All purchases are considered as donations to the Westpac Helicopter service.
