Each year the Annual Art Exhibition is held over the 4 days of the Melbourne Cup Weekend. It is open from 10am –4pm from the Saturday to the Tuesday (inclusive). It is held at our Studio, corner Church and Anne Streets, Emerald (Melways reference Page 127 D4).
The exhibition is supported by the Shire of Cardinia and local businesses. In 2014 we introduced the “NextGen Awards”. This was specifically aimed at encouraging arts participation from aspiring young artists.
The winners are judged by a different artist of note each year.
The Annual exhibition is well attended by locals and art enthusiasts from greater Melbourne who come to purchase artworks.
