WANDONG’S Three Brushes Studio will this Sunday host an art exhibition, showing off more than 140 artworks created by its students.
The studio’s first art show last year featured about 100 works made mostly by children, however student numbers having since grown to more than 120 children and 20 adults.
This year will feature two new categories: the people’s choice award, giving visitors the opportunity to vote on their favourite pieces from the exhibition; and the all-abilities section.
Three Brushes owner and teacher Sharon Delaney said the show had grown from last year, with more community groups involved and students returning in higher age groups.
“We’ve had help from Kilmore Art Society who has provided prize packs for budding artists who need help with supplies, and Officeworks have also provided art packs as prizes,” she said.
“It just shows how therapeutic art can be and how important it is for people, especially kids, to be involved in art.”
This year’s exhibition will include a barbecue by the Wandong-Heathcote Junction community group, with tea and coffee also available for visitors.
Judges for this year include Kilmore Art Society member Cheryl Eve, Wandong Primary School teacher Robyn Beer and artist Helen Syngaris.
The exhibition will be from 10am to 2pm on Sunday, at the Wandong Hall, at the corner of Rail Street and Wandong Avenue. Entry is free.
