Hundreds of artworks and photos will line the walls of Christian College’s music, sports and performing arts centre this Easter weekend.
Bellarine North Rotary Club will host the 46th Bellarine North Rotary Easter Expo at Drysdale’s 40 Collins Street location from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20.
President Ken Withers said the expo showcased works from many styles across the state and would feature displays by the Bellarine Camera Club and the Festival of Glass.
“We love seeing people coming through the door and I like looking at the art myself too,” he said.
“We have about 230 paintings and about 80 photos op on display… We also have about $7000 worth of prizes for the artists.
“It is important for us to put on a show for the community, and we want as many people as possible to come along and look at the art show.
“It also gives the opportunity for artists to display their work, and we raise money for the club that goes towards our programs, so our club puts about $40,000 a year mainly into the local community.”
Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant will officially open the event on Saturday, with the artworks judged by Queenscliff Gallery’s Soula and Theo Mantalvanos.
Bellarine North Rotary Club has raised close to $350,000 over 46 years through the event, which goes towards initiatives that help make a real difference in the community.
