'On The Edge' Photo Exhibition

8/4/2025

 
Once again, a very successful photo competition/exhibition with some very creative photographs entered this year. The independent judges found it a difficult task but enjoyed seeing the variety of interpretations of the theme.  All up, we had 120 photos on show including 20 from primary school children.

Best in Show, awarded by the judges, was an untitled work by Kylie McNeill. Unfortunately, this image was behind glass and we were unable to take a decent photo without major reflections.

​The winner of the Primary School Section was
'Daisy Dog'
​by Tarli from Highton Primary School.

Fortunately, Elwood isn't aware of what Nana can see.  This entry was voted
Most Humorous
​in the People's Choice.

There was a dead heat for the People's Choice Most Popular.

Graeme Akers somehow managed to snap  a lightning strike  near his home
​and Jon Hurrey's Smokey looked so adorable 'on the edge' of the verandah.

different people
interpret the theme.

​We also have the
car boot sale
happening  on
the Saturday.
Another interesting thing seeing who thinks
it's trash
​and who thinks it's treasure!

Historic Walk signage refurbished

26/4/2024

But these things  come at a cost and expert manufacturing was required.

​​Bendigo Bank came to our rescue
with an $800 grant and Signarama in Ballarat
​created the beautiful signs for us

coming $2 under the grant for the whole project.

​We are so fortunate to have these two businesses within our reach and can now plan
​to put more signs on our walk in the future.
 ​
PictureOne of the signs erected near the 3 churches in town which share borders in Humffray St..
Our latest venture has been about
the historic side of our group.

Unfortunately, the information signage placed strategically around

the Moonambel historic walk
showed signs of aging and needed refurbishing.

We were fortunate to still have
the artwork originals
created by Noreen McAdam
so only needed two additional signs
​to be added.

​

Thank you to Peter O'Rourke for putting our project in the local Pyrenees Advocate Newspaper. 

Another successful Art Exhibition!

​We had many comments
on how well the exhibition was curated
and the wonderful exhibition space.

​Not to mention the beautiful work on display. 

​Both Russell and Sanne
gave us a fantastic art exhibition.

Thank you to both of you.

'Spring into Summer' Art Exhibition & Sale

24/10/2023

 
 We are proud to showcase two of our own Moonambel artists in the upcoming
​'Spring  into Summer' Art Exhibition & Sale.
Picture

Russell Drever lives in Moonambel
and last exhibited with us in 2010
with a solo show called
​'Images, at Moonambel'.
​

Back then the poster said...

​     Described at his exhibition in
     Cannibal Pierce Galerie, Paris as           master colourist, Russell Drever
     is an artist with an international
     trajectory and representative
     breadth of work that belies his
     quiet unassuming presence
     tucked away in tiny Moonambel.
     With over nine solo and eight
     group exhibitions, Images, at                 Moonambel realises the master
     colourist at work again.

Come along to see if you agree with such a wonderful description!
​

Picture
Sanne Malkaer started her mosaic career
the same year by helping to cover the walls
of the Moonambel Recreation Reserve
amenities blocks with quirky mosaics...a community event  where all locals were
invited to 'have a go'.  

​Sanne hasn't stopped 'having a go' and
her work is in demand around the region.
Sanne's 3D mosaic sculptures can be seen
at local Pyrenees art 
spaces such as the
galleries at Avoca and Beaufort
.


There will also be our traditional market on the Saturday. 
Check the posters for all the details.
