Description of Incident: Experienced Banksia Park artist and lecturer Margaret Tuckey, 66, and budding sculptor Scott Eames, 32, have been told by council staff their pieces were too "graphic to be included in the councils annual Painting and Ceramics Exhibition and Competition.

Results of Incident: The committee decided the council had a duty of care to protect Civic Centre visitors from any pieces of artwork depicting images containing perceived violence, racism, sexism, nudity, blasphemy, cultural discrimination and other issues that may be seen to be discriminatory or offensive. Margaret Tuckey will submit a nude painting to Tea Tree Gully Council's next art show in 2009 - in protest at bureaucratic guidelines requiring art that won't offend anyone.
