Letters: SMAG art decision prematureJohn Hawkins Why not wait until the Southland Museum and Art Gallery review is complete? I read with concern recent decisions concerning the Southland Museum and Art Gallery (Southland Times, August 2). Cr Ludlow might think that this decision will not remove the AG from SMAG but I fear that this decision is crucial to SMAG's future. I've recently donated art works to the SMAG collection, choosing SMAG because I'm Southland born and because SMAG is a combination of museum and art gallery. Numerous New Zealand art gallery collections have been pillaged by management of one form or another for a variety of transient reasons.
