THE Kilmore Art Expo is one of the most highly regarded art shows in regional Victoria and this year will be held April 12 and 13. Importantly for artists, submissions for entry close this Sunday, March 9.
The Kilmore Art Expo is well known for exhibiting quality artwork and for having a wide and generous range of awards across many categories.
There is over $8500 in prizes and awards in various categories, including paintings, sculpture, and photography.
As an artist, you might be just starting out, be an established artist, or somewhere in between, but if you are over six years of age and working in any of these creative, artistic areas, you are encouraged to exhibit at the Kilmore Art Expo.
We are dedicating space within the expo to exhibit work by young artists aged 6–18 years, and there are a range of specific youth prizes in excess of $850 for painting and photography, along with the opportunity to win our People’s Choice award valued at $400.
Young artists aged 6–18 years can download an entry form via the Kilmore Art Expo website at www.kilmoreartexpo.com.au. This is a conventional paper entry form which you can scan and return. If you have any queries, call Michelle on 0425 790 920 or email kilmoreartsocietyinc@gmail.com.
Adult artists need to apply through our new administration group, Gallery 247, via www.gallery247.com.au. Just log in and check out Kilmore Art Expo in the ‘Artist Alerts’ section to see the key dates, conditions of entry, and sale, as well as when and how to submit your work. While you are there, you will be able to submit your entry online, but if you need help, please email Kilmore Art Society via kilmoreartsocietyinc@gmail.com.
This is the 17th Kilmore Art Expo, a joint venture between the Rotary Club of Southern Mitchell and the Kilmore Art Society Inc. We encourage involvement by the whole community to view, enjoy, and purchase the artwork over the weekend.
Preview night is on Friday, April 11, from 6.30pm and opens the exhibition. See the award-winning art, meet the artists, and enjoy live music, food, drinks, and enjoyable company. Exhibition hours are 10am–4pm on Saturday, April 12 and 10am–3.30pm on Sunday, April 13.
A variety of delicious light food is on offer for lunch, or just buy a glass of wine to drink while you peruse the displays.
