Everlasting Seascapes is coming to Barwon Heads to highlight the natural diversity and beauty of the area through art.
The group exhibition will be launched at the Barwon Heads Arts Hub on Thursday, March 6, from 6pm to 8pm, celebrating the Bellarine Peninsula’s environment and coastlines.
Belmont artist Katia Ksr said the exhibition featured different artworks from five female artists, which also recognised International Women’s Day on March 8.
“We’re contributing to the show collectively as well as individually about the environment and its beauty,” she said.
“We work across different mediums, so I’ve curated the show, organised for us to meet and you collaborate in the way that showcases all of us and makes our work visible.”
The exhibition features multidimensional sculptures by Britt Silvester, paintings and ceramics by Madeleine Thornton-Smith, oil paintings by Sara Leanne Perry, and landscape photos by Karen Williamson.
Ms Ksr will also present installations of large paintings on transparent textiles during the exhibition, with people able to experience meditative moments surrounded by pastel horizons.
“I’m looking forward to artists hopefully being inspired by some of the mediums we will be sharing through our work,” she said.
“It’s about connecting through the community to women and artists who appreciate the environment and how we feel around marine protection.
“It’s very beautiful to be by the sea and I’ve always connected to that as a moment of tranquilly as a break from all the busy lives that we have.”
The Everlasting Seascapes exhibition will be showcased at the 5 Clifford Parade arts hub from March 7 to 10 and March 13 to 15 from 10am to 3pm.
