Art exhibition showcases local talent
With the September school holidays coming up at the end of next week, there is no better time to plan what is available for students and adults alike.
For the fourth year, with support from the community, the Southern Mallee Cooperative Parish is hosting the fourth annual art exhibition at the Hopetoun Powerhouse Arts Studio.
Titled ‘Life in All Its Fullness’, as we look at the beauty, full life and amazing opportunities we have in the Mallee, it is expected that the quality and variety of work in the exhibition will be up to the standard of previous years.
With artists from the local area, across Victoria, and interstate, it is proving to be rich in variety and creativity, with mixed media as well.
This year’s guest artist is Pam Clugston of Kenmare.
Pam is interested in multiple media and works across styles and materials.
A member of the local Patchwork Group and interested in trying different art forms, Pam is known for her variety and creativity.
Opening night is Friday, September 18, with doors open at 7.30pm for a preview, and the opening will be at 8pm.
All are welcome to attend.
The exhibition will be open from Saturday, September 19, to Thursday, September 24.
Opening times are 10am-4pm each day except for Sunday, September 20, when it will be open 12-4pm.
A worship service following the theme will be held on Sunday, September 20, at 11am, with a shared lunch to follow.
All are welcome, and an entry donation helps cover costs.
