We have an elected and voluntary Committee of Management, and are staffed by volunteers. Davson Arts Museum was conceived by 48 Hours Toward World Peace, and passed by a unanimous resolution of members at its Annual General Meeting on 21 November 2004.
Its name was intended to honour the internationally accomplished Australian artist, Sharon Davson AFDA DipT, whose creative contribution to the well-being of many in our global community spans more than three decades and crosses all walks of life.
