Gloria of Greymouth is a Public Sculpture, a Temple of Silliness, a Centre for Playfulness, an Ode to Camp.  Gloria is a chapel, a venue, a club.  Gloria is my art project.  Gloria is my home. 

Formerly Saint Andrews Anglican Church, built 1939, consecrated 1942, deconsecrated 2018, the building was rezoned residential 2010 & reconsecrated as Gloria of Greymouth 2021 when I moved in.
