Painting the way to positive change

Rotary Club of Ocean Grove will celebrate artistic creativity across the region with its Annual Art Show back for another year.

The show will feature close to 270 paintings at Point Lonsdale Primary School, along with a photography display that will run for the first time this year.

Rotary Club president Lyndy Stagg said the art show was in its 14th year and would help raise money for charities important to the region.

“I’m looking forward to raising money for charities and being a part of the opening night as it’s always good fun,” she said.

“Each year we’re amazed by the talent and imagination on display, and the art show provides a platform for artists to share their work.

“The proceeds from the art show benefit local charities, including Surfing for the Disabled, Riding Develops Abilities and other local projects recommended by our members.”

Art show committee member Margaret Campbell said she loved seeing the community’s response to the club’s art show and expected a good turnout for this year’s event.

“We’ve found that people are wanting our services more and more, especially as things have tightened, and we like being able to provide it,” she said.

“Art shows and galleries have been an interest of mine for quite some time, and there seems to be a certain joy and excitement from people who attend the show.”

The Rotary Club of Ocean Grove Annual Art Show will be held from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 1 November and Sunday 2 November.
