Rotary to host its 11th Art Show

Leading off the Arts Trail on Melbourne Cup Weekend, the Ocean Grove Rotary Club will hold its 11th annual Art Show.

The collection of works will be hosted at the Point Lonsdale Primary School Function Centre.

The proceeds from the commission of the sale of work and the Art Show raffle will be divided between Riding Develops Abilities and Surfing for the Disabled.

The show will give people a chance to see some high-quality work.

“The Show has attracted many top local and statewide artists. We have three categories – painting, drawing and printmaking – and of course The People’s Choice Award with prizes in excess of $10,000 on offer,” Art Show curator Coral Barker said.

This year’s judge is Jill Shalles, a multi-award winning artist who has held 15 solo exhibitions and participated in many group shows in Australia and the United Kingdom.

“I’m impressed with the professional way Rotary Ocean Grove runs their Art Show, the standard of work is much higher than average and I like the fact that all proceeds go to two excellent local charities, I enjoy being part of it,” Shalles said.

Do yourself a favour this Melbourne Cup Weekend, come and view the best art the peninsula has to offer in the perfect location of the Point Lonsdale Primary School Function Centre (#26 on the Arts Trail Map), which is at Bowen Road, Point Lonsdale.

The art show will be open from 10am-5pm on October 29 and 9am-4pm on October 30.
