WORKS by 30 Ballarat region artists will be on display when the Ballarat Society of Artists’ Annual Easter Art Show gets underway tomorrow, Friday 18 April.<\/p>\n
The long-running celebration of local art, held at the Robert Clark Horticultural Centre in the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, will be open from 10am to 4pm daily from tomorrow until Monday.<\/p>\n
An official opening and prize awards are scheduled for 2pm tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Society assistant secretary Sue Clarke said the show was now in its 42nd year and had proven over the years to be a very popular local art event.<\/p>\n
“Thirty artists are participating this year with a variety of works ranging from collagraph, mixed media, linoprint, acrylic, oils, watercolour and pastel,” Ms Clarke said.<\/p>\n
“There is a wonderful range of styles to see.<\/p>\n
“Our eclectic group looks forward to this event every year. The Ballarat Botanical Gardens look beautiful at this time and a visit to the conservatory and gardens over Easter is always a delight.<\/p>\n
“Come along and enjoy the local artists’ creations. The event is free and there will be art, framed and unframed, and cards for sale.”<\/p>\n
This year’s judge is Jacqueline Doughty, assistant director (curatorial) at the Art Gallery of Ballarat.<\/p>\n
The show will feature a raffle, with two prizes: a painting by Lyn Cooke as first prize and a painting by Jennifer Sutterby as second prize.<\/p>\n
The raffle will be drawn on Easter Monday, 21 April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
