Sunbury creativity on show

The talents of Sunbury’s artists will be on display at The Boilerhouse next month through a local art society’s annual art show.

In its 38th year, the Sunbury Art Society’s Annual Art Show will display local artists’ work across categories including animal study, contemporary and abstract art, local area content, and floral study.

These will be depicted across oil, acrylic, drawing, mixed media, pastel, pen and wash, watercolour and gouache, and other media.

Society committee member Susan Sette said she feels there will be “quite a good variety” of art this year, because of several new members joining the society and bringing new styles and approaches for exhibition visitors to enjoy.

“I just hope whoever attends really enjoys the show and finds something that makes their heart sing,” she said

Sette works across mixed media and recently began creating acrylic paint works, following a course in the medium she received a grant for through Hume.

All works at the gallery are available for sale.

The opening night of the exhibition will start at 7.30pm on Friday, May 2, with the exhibition then open from 10am–4pm from May 3–10 at The Boilerhouse off Circular Drive, Sunbury.

Raffle tickets will be sold at Bunnings Sunbury on Sunday, April 20 and at the exhibition’s opening preview night – starting at 7.30pm on Friday, May 2 – with profits supporting the society and the winner receiving a work of art created by one of the society members.

Entry to the exhibition is $15 per person for the opening preview night and free at all other times.
