Four artists and a clock hobbyist are bringing an exhibition to Belmont, offering unique Christmas gift ideas.
The Art in Time for Christmas exhibition and sale will feature different artworks by Dave Whittaker, Marg Bunting, Mary Tegelaers, and up-and-coming 12-year-old artist Raina Janardhan.
The art exhibition from 10am to 6pm on Saturday, November 18, and Sunday, November 19, at 81 Bailey Street will include special guest clock hobbyist Mark Greskie.
Ms Tegelaers said there would be more than 100 artworks comprising oil paintings, watercolours, pen and pencil drawings, prints, handmade cards, and restored antique clocks.
“All the artists will be there on hand and our clock hobbyist will be there as well to greet people and meet people,” she said.
“I just love to see people come along and spend a bit of time in the gardens, look at the work and clocks, and talk with the artists and exhibitors.
“I’ve also been on a bit of a mission to get people educated on what print making is and the fact that it is an art process, and we don’t just copy work.”
Ms Tegelaers said that entrance to the exhibition is by a gold coin donation, which goes towards the Andrew Love Cancer Centre.
“We support Andrew Love because it’s based in Geelong and we all have connections, we all have family and friends that has had support through Andrew Love,” she said.
“We’re also happy to do commissions and we have people that come back year after year just to see how we’re going and how we’re developing our art and to support it, which is lovely.”
