Moorabool creativity on show

Watercolour paintings, ceramic works, and sculptures are some of the works that will be displayed and sold at the Rotary Club of Bacchus Marsh’s upcoming art show.

The 53rd annual art show will run over the King’s Birthday Weekend at the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall, with a gala opening night on Friday, June 6.

The gala night will include a substantial amount of finger food, beverages, and live music from the local Baccbeat Jazz Band.

Club committee chair Peter Shilton said that the show is a great place to be on a cold winter’s day.

“We generally have up to a 1000 people come through over the long weekend,” Mr Shilton said.

He said that the show caters for all ages and all different skill levels, from professional artists to those who are just starting out – and for many artists, the show is the first time they publicly exhibit their art.

Prizes will be offered to artists across a range of categories, including a local content category.

The gala opening on Friday, June 6 runs from 7–10pm, where there will be a preview of the works and an opportunity to purchase them early.

The opening night will be open to those aged over 18.

Sales will open at 8pm on Friday and then remain open all weekend, with the show open between 10am–4pm from June 7–9.

Works range in price from $250–$5000 and all are for sale.

Artwork submissions to enter in the show will be accepted by the club until Monday, May 26
