So many SQUARES so many ideas!
Last Sunday saw the 2015 8th Annual SQUARES Exhibition open at Steathnairn Arts Gallery, Holt, Canberra. Each year I wait with anticipation to see what the local artists have managed to express on a 12″ square canvas, and this year doesn’t disappoint.
This year for the first time, the Woolshed has been transformed into a gorgeous Gallery Space, which has housed the nearly 100 entries. There truly is something for everyone here, from abstract to portrait, figurative to still life, entries with components of pottery – all hand made – mosaic to works on paper.
If you have a child interested in the arts this is a great introduction into the world of Art Exhibitions as there is a Children’s Category as well.
With the new café now in full swing from Thursday to Sunday, it really is a great time to go and support the art community.
Strathnairn Arts Gallery is open from 10 – 4pm Thursday to Sunday, 90 Stockdill Drive, Holt 2615
You can keep up to date on what’s happening at Strathnairn by visiting their Facebook site here: Strathnairn Arts Facebook Page
There is also two fabulous exhibitions running in the gallery at present:
‘Sea Stories’ Etchings and mixed media collages by Deborah Perrow – Gallery 1
and
‘Second Nature’ Paintings and drawings by Jane Ellis – Gallery 2
They both run from 14 May – 7 June.
I hope you get out to view the fantastic SQUARES this weekend! (side note – these are available for sale – grab a great investment piece!) If you do go, let me know which was your favourite, there are so many to choose from! ~ K
