THE annual Pyrenees Art Exhibition returns to Beaufort’s town hall over the King’s Birthday Long Weekend, showcasing a variety of works.<\/p>\n
“They’ll either be in oil, watercolor, or mixed media,” said exhibition committee member Jocelyn Oddie.<\/p>\n
She said the art exhibition was a staple for the region, and a second-hand book sale and a photography show are also part of the event.<\/p>\n
“It’s something enjoyable,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Then we have the bit of photography and the second-hand book sale as well. So, we link in and make it a nice long weekend in Beaufort, and it brings people to the town.”<\/p>\n
The exhibition allows artists of all types from the region to display, Oddie said.<\/p>\n
“We’re an art show to start off with if you’re new to the art world,” she said. “And a lot of people keep putting their artwork in again and again.”<\/p>\n
Oddie said entrants could be a beginner or an experienced artist that has been painting for years.<\/p>\n
“Anybody can enter and put their wonderful art in,” she said.<\/p>\n
She said the photography complemented the exhibition well. “It’s still a form of artwork, it’s just a different technique.”<\/p>\n
The exhibition will start tonight with the official opening from 7.30pm, where works will be selected as the best in their respective categories. Entry to opening night is $25.<\/p>\n
It will then open on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 June from 10am to 5pm, and Monday 8 June from 10am to 2pm. Entry for those days is $10 and includes Devonshire tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
