Art in Time for Christmas is coming to Belmont to showcase the work of Geelong artists and fundraise for Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre.
The art exhibition will feature artworks by six artists, including Dave Whittaker, and a clock hobbyist, at its 81 Bailey Street location from 10am to 6pm on Saturday, November 16, and Sunday, November 17.
Artist Mary Tegelaers said 100 original oil paintings, watercolours, drawings, prints, handmade cards and restored antique clocks will be displayed throughout the weekend.
“Last year we featured a young lady that was learning from Dave and this year we have three students of his with artworks on display,” she said.
“We’ll be featuring their works to give them a chance to have their work in a gallery-like atmosphere…and it’s lovely to encourage a new generation of artists.
“We have a 9-year-old who’s doing watercolours, an 11-year-old boy who does the most amazing and intricate pencil drawings, and then a slightly older lady who’s been learning watercolours.
“We really look forward to people coming in, talking to us, and asking us during the show about the works…and we’d love people to come along and support Andrew Love Cancer Centre if they can.”
Ms Tegelaers said a gold coin donation entry into the show was encouraged to help raise money for Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre.
