Members of Glenaroua Country Fire Authority and a group of 17 artists are banding together again over Easter to host the Art4CFA fundraising event.
Glenaroua Fire Station will host the event, which aims to raise money for the brigade while also providing an opportunity for the public to see the inner workings of a fire station. People will also be able to view artworks created by artists from across the region.
All artists have an affiliation with or are members of the CFA.
A popular aspect of the show is the Artists’ Challenge, where each artist is given the same reference photo to work from and interpret in any way they choose.
This year’s challenge features the memorial avenue of cypress pine trees beside the fire station, which were planted by the citizens of Glenaroua in 1918 to honour the men and women of the area who had volunteered for service in World War One.
There will be about 100 artworks on display in various mediums including sculpture as well as paintings using oil, watercolour, pastel and mixed media, with 15 per cent of commission on sales to be donated to the brigade.
Opening night will be at 6.30pm on April 6, with catering provided by the brigade.
The show will be open daily from Friday to Sunday, from 10am to 4pm, and Monday until 1pm. Entry is by gold coin donation.
