OPEN SAT & SUN 10am – 4pm
Entry $5 (children free)
Lunch and refreshments will be available in the Hall all weekend.
The Featured Artist is Aiden Weichard and we are delighted to be featuring his popular works. Aidan is a Melbourne-based artist, who describes his creative process as “ever-evolving, with the constant being my subject matter”. Farm animals, working dogs and native flora and fauna are depicted using vivid colours and fluid forms where the energy that goes into creating them shines through in the finished pieces. His art is characterised by strong, broad strokes and layers of expressive colours – and emits more of a feeling. We can’t wait to see what he brings to Jugiong! We will be also featuring wonderful new artists and welcome back beautiful new works of artists who have exhibited before.
Workshops will be announced closer to the date.
The cocktail party will open the exhibition on Friday 28th October 2022 (7 – 10pm). We would love you to come along and bring your friends!
