Gladstone Art Exhibition 2011

Gladstone Annual Art Exhibition.

The 2011 Art Exhibition came to a close with over 560 visitors viewing the exhibition over the four weeks of its opening.

This year there were 205 individual art works from local as well as State and Interstate artists, and the quality of the work was particularly pleasing.

In addition to the submitted entries, all of the Rocky River Schools provided a display of student art work which added further interest to the Exhibition.

Many visitors took in the Exhibition as part of the ‘Flinders Ranges: a Brush with Art’ programme,  following the art trail through the region.

Sales of work were a bit disappointing, but it can be understood given the current economic circumstances.

The exhibition was supervised daily by dedicated volunteers and their interest and time is greatly appreciated.

The 2012 Exhibition will open on Saturday 8th September next year and extend into the first week of October.   It is planned to retain the present exhibition format with the broad range of artistic endeavour being encouraged, so the Committee calls upon all artists to consider entering their work in 2012.
