	Tenterfield School of Arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tenterfield School of Arts is a hall in the town of Tenterfield in New South Wales, Australia.
		It is notable as the place where Sir Henry Parkes delivered the Tenterfield Oration, a speech proposing that the six separate British colonies in Australia should unite into a single federation.
		After being renamed the Sir Henry Parkes School of Arts, the building then became the first museum operated by the Trust in Australia, containing a range of memorabilia related to both the history of Federation and the local area.

	Schools of Arts - TENTERFIELD
		The story of the Tenterfield School of Arts began in 1863 when it was decided, after a series of public meetings, to establish a reading room in the town.
		While the library of the School of Arts continued to be one of its most popular functions, the advent of the motion picture also led to a declining interest in public lectures.
		With a great deal of foresight, the people of Tenterfield realised, during the 1930s, that even though the activities of their School of Arts were declining in public popularity and interest, the building itself was a particularly valuable community asset.
