This Art Exhibition & Sale provides many local artists, as well as artisis from all over Australia an opportunity to show their work. It's also a great opportunity for local people to view and purchase their work, thereby supporting the work Rotary does in the community. That makes this event benefical to all who are involved in it.

Vida Pearson (pictured right with Neil MacDonald)→ was one of the more distinguished artists who exhibited. Vida credited our Art show as one of the best ways to raise your profile as an artist based on her experience when she first started selling her work.

Richard Jones ←(pictured left) was our Feature Artist this year. He came to Australia at the age of five showing a keen interest in art, winning a Sydney Morning Herald Award at eleven years of age. While Richard was attending Sydney university aged nineteen, he received an Australian Arts Council Award. In 1965 he studied under the legendary Mary Harding in Broken Hill.

Today, Richard's work hangs in many banks, galleries, offices and private collections throughout Australia and overseas.

Richard is a member of the Australian Guild of Realist Artists.
