Etherington, who was a longstanding patron of the arts in Kingston and member of the suffragette movement, planted the seeds for Agnes Etherington Art Centre as early as the 1920s and 1930s when she created a summer school for artists at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Upon her death in 1954, she bequeathed her house to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 in order to 카지노 게임 컬렉션further the cause of art and community.카지노 게임 컬렉션 Since 1957, Agnes has grown to be a gallery of national and international importance.
