The exhibition celebrates the vibrant creativity of six passionate artists using complementary mediums. Opening on Saturday, November 2, the exhibition continues the gallery’s proud tradition of displaying exceptional talents of local artists.

“We cover a broad range of subjects and media, reflecting the diverse artistic practices that are on display and often taught at the Neighbourhood House,” House Gallery chair Jocelyn Adam said.

The Gallery Salon exhibition will be open during the Bellarine Arts Trail.

“The work featured in Gallery Salon represents a mosaic of our creative expression.”

Julie Morganwith a foundation in watercolour, Julie includes collage and mixed media to add a contemporary dimension and vibrancy to her work, and
