Each year this exciting competition and exhibition brings together Artistry’s talented members.  It is always a varied and eclectic collection showcasing many different mediums, styles and techniques. Every year the exhibiting artwork is selected by a prominent member of the local arts community. This year’s juror who will be selecting the work for the show is Rachel Daly, Artistry’s former Director of Visual arts! The juror who will be the decider of the 11 awards including a $600 Best of Show Award will be announced at a later date.

While you will still need to maintain an Artistry membership (or become a new member) there is no entry fee to apply to this exhibition.
