Gunnedah Shire’s biggest annual art exhibition will open the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery on Friday, August 11, with exciting artworks across 14 categories.

The 52nd Art & Ceramics Exhibition, held by Arts Gunnedah, will showcase the work of artists from not only the North-West, but from Tamworth, Armidale, Scone and Coonabarabran, with prize money totalling $9600.

Arts Gunnedah president Helen Stanley said the exhibition had become a Gunnedah institution.

“This is an exhibition Gunnedah looks forward to every year,” Mrs Stanley said. “It is always a wonderful collection of a wide variety of art and ceramics - a colourful expression of the talent we have in this area and beyond.

“The 52nd Art & Ceramics Exhibition will include everything from watercolours to graphics, miniatures, mixed media and ceramics.

“We invite everyone to come along and take a look while this exhibition is open at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery. You can even vote for your favourite artwork for the People’s Choice Award.”

Gunnedah Shire Council is a sponsor of the exhibition that will have its opening at 6pm on Friday, 11 August. Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for children under 18, and can be reserved at www.thecivic.com.au and paid for at the door, or bought at the event.
