BELLARINE Peninsula exhibition opening this Sunday will offer young local artists a rare opportunity to exhibit their work, according to organisers.
Mel Taylor, of Barwon Adolescent Taskforce, said Bellarine Youth Art Exhibition would ensure participants would feel welcome because the focus was on exhibiting, not competing.
“It’s an opportunity for young people right across Geelong to showcase their talents, have a space where they can exhibit their work and to meet other young artists doing the same.”
A committee of local students organised the exhibition as part of its weekly meetings to plan community events.
The exhibition will run from Sunday to September 7 at Drysdale’s Potato Shed.
