Sunbury Art Society is preparing to host its annual art and craft studio sale, presenting the hard work and creativity of local artists.

Held at the Boilerhouse Gallery at Jackson’s Hill, the sale will offer a variety of works including unframed paintings, cards, mugs, and small handmade gifts.

This year’s sale will include works from art society members as well as local potters and woodworkers.

Society committee member Susan Sette said that the annual sale is an asset to the Sunbury community.

“It gives people the opportunity to see what we’re doing at the Sunbury Art Society, and an opportunity to grab a bargain, because there’s nothing over $120,” Ms Sette said.

“I think it’s important for people in the community to have an idea of what’s happening in [Sunbury] … some people might decide to join, you never know. It might spark their creative processes.”

Ms Sette said the sale is a great opportunity to find a unique gift for Christmas, a birthday, or a special occasion.

“There’s a lot of variety for just little odds and ends that you don’t expect to find,” she said.

Sunbury Art Society is a non-profit community group that meets each Friday and Saturday at The Boilerhouse, hosting an annual art exhibition each May along with its end-of-year art sale.

With free entry, the sale will be hosted at Boilerhouse Gallery at Jackson’s Hill, Sunbury from 10am–4pm on November 23–24.
