Leading off the Arts Trail on Melbourne Cup Weekend, the Ocean Grove Rotary Club will hold its 11th annual Art Show.<\/p>\n
The collection of works will be hosted at the Point Lonsdale Primary School Function Centre.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The show will give people a chance to see some high-quality work.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The art show will be open from 10am-5pm on October 29 and 9am-4pm on October 30.<\/p>\n
