Mark and Delma Tronson developed a model for Art
Ministry over a 5-year period based in the New South Wales south coast town of Moruya.
As a result of these developments and its wide
publicity, Mark and Delma have spoken at
numerous Christian international and
Australian conferences on “Art Ministry” and its philosophies.
“The Basil Sellers Art Gallery” was opened in 2003 to house Mark Tronson’s works of philosophical art, which have gained an international acclaim, and as a home for his Art Ministry.
The small Moruya community did not have an art gallery and Mr Basil Sellers supported a proposal to establish the Art Ministry through a Gallery base.
Internationally acclaimed artist W John Hackwell along
with Basil Sellers officially opened the Basil Sellers Gallery in May 2003 where Mr Sellers announced a community $10,000 annual art prize, which was
inaugurated in 2004.
Mr Sellers and Mark Tronson met with the Eurobodalla
Shire Council in August 2005 requesting their development of the Art Prize,
which was handed to the “community”. Subsequently the Art Gallery has also been
relocated into town.
Mark and Delma Tronson remain available to speak on their developed philosophy of Art Ministry.
