The Woodend Lions Arts Show returns

The Woodend Lions Art Show is returning in March for its 47th year.

Held at St Ambrose Hall on Templeton Street, artists will be judged in seven award categories, including best oil or acrylic painting, best photography and best local (from Woodend).

Woodend Lions Art Show member Barry McDonald said he was excited to see return for another year.

“The pandemic has been wide reaching and has touched all our lives. The Woodend Lions Art Show has managed to find a way to continue not missing one yearly event,” he said.

“If the breadth of talent and the scope of the local works shown in last year’s show are anything to go by, it promises to be really exciting.

“Local artists do very well at the show, with new talent revealed and established painters attracting a dedicated audience.

“The show offers many, many people an enchanting wonder through a diverse collection for a token donation. The sales at this signature event are substantial.”

This year’s show will be held on March 12, 13 and 14.

The funds raised at this show will support the range of social and environmental projects undertaken by Woodend Lions in the local community.

Artists can enter their work via Woodend Lions web page.
