The creativity of the Ranges will be on display as The Gallery Mount Macedon prepares to host its annual art prize and exhibition.
For the first time in its history, entrant artists in this year’s competition were not limited to a single theme and have responded with a variety of portraits, landscapes – and even dried flowers.
With a first prize of $1000, the winner will be announced at an official opening at 2pm on Sunday, April 12.
The official opening will be a free public event, with everyone invited to join in with the celebrations.
The rest of the gallery will also be open to enjoy during the day, where the works of 26 local member artists will be on display.
This includes cards, paintings, drawings, pottery, beanies, gloves, scarves, and much more.
The Gallery Mount Macedon is also calling for expressions of interest from those who would like to join as member artists, as there are currently two to three vacancies due to members leaving the region.
If you are an artist or craftsperson living in the Macedon Ranges or Sunbury and would like to join the gallery, visit the website for membership conditions or visit the gallery during opening hours – 10am–4pm from Friday to Tuesday at 684 Mount Macedon Road, Mount Macedon.
