'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.

Photo exhibition

19/3/2025

Remember to get your entries in. It could be
an exciting exhibition seeing how
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!

'On The Edge' photo comp & exhibition

Check out the poster for details and we hope to see you in April at the exhibition.

If you can't download

Historic Walk signage refurbished

26/4/2024

Photo by Peter O'Rourke in the Pyrenees Advocate.

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.

One 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!

4/12/2023

At the 'Meet and Greet' on Sunday

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.

Catacombs - A Memoir by Russell Drever

Pastorale by Sanne Malkaer

Fortunately,
the weather was kind on Saturday morning for our market.
There were 10 stalls with many crafty items for sale.

The market getting ready for the action!

Thank you to all who supported our event.

'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.

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!

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.
