The Woodend Lions Club is hosting its 50th annual art show next weekend, supporting local artists of all ages and raising money for charitable causes.
All artworks are available for purchase, with a small commission from each sale going towards the club and its activities.
Woodend Lions president Barry McDonald said entry is by gold coin and visitors will see a “boggling array of talent” from skilled amateurs to highly polished professionals.
“The club has a mantra ‘we don’t want to live in a town where people go hungry or go cold in winter,’ and we do the best we can to put money towards satisfying that affirmation,” he said.
Mr McDonald said a popular category of the annual art show is the children’s section, with visitors “really excited by what the children can do”.
In its 50th year, Mr McDonald said the popular annual show has been “part of the social calendar for the town for a long time.”
Hosted at St Ambrose Hall in Woodend, a ticketed gala opening night for the art show will be held on Friday, March 7 from 6–8.30pm.
The art show will be open from 10am–5pm on Saturday, March 8, and Sunday, March 9, and from 10am–4pm on Monday, March 10.
