We are on the path to our Annual Art Exhibition and Art Sale at Box Hill Lower Town Hall. Once again our partners in this exhibition are Whitehorse Arts Association. As in previous years it is our major event of the year and your committee is pulling out all stops to make it a huge success. This year our focus is not only to get large numbers of the public viewing your work, but to sell your work. We hope art lovers who attend, with your friends and family, will purchase your creative works.
• ENTRIES CLOSE 22nd SEPTEMBER so there is no time to waste.
Prizes will be announced at 8pm Friday night – Best in Show, Best Oil or Acrylic, Best Work on Paper and ‘Peoples Choice’. Enter up to 7 works and deliver them to Box Hill Lower Town Hall Friday October 4th, 9am – 11am. More details on the Exhibition Entry Form, and pay EFT via the BHAG Bank details on the entry form.
