Maleny’s
18th Art Awards and Exhibition will be held over the three days of the
Queen’s Birthday weekend, 11th, 12th and 13th June.
This year’s exhibition promises to be an enormous success, drawing entries from a wide range of artists displaying their work in several sections, including portraiture, watercolours, oil or acrylics, pastels and mixed media.
The exhibition will take place at St George’s Anglican Church, Maleny, and is generously sponsored by local businesses and private individuals. Barbara Fowler, chairperson of the organising committee, said that in tough times, it was really encouraging to see that people were still prepared to support this important cultural event.
The guest judge is Kevin Grealy, a distinguished ceramist who has worked and taught in the art field for many years.
The weekend is popular for visitors and locals alike, with the Maleny Garden Club’s “Gardening On The Edge” featuring a huge display in the Activities Centre at the High School and including several open gardens in the district on the Saturday and Sunday.
Local residents are encouraged to invite friends up to the Range for this weekend, as there will be plenty to see and do.
Entries for the Art Awards close on Wednesday 25 May and entry forms are available from Holden’s Gallery, the Maleny Information Centre and various other outlets, as well as the website www.malenyartawards.com
