The poster says it all...
 Once again we are excited to present Maggie's annual Open Studio. Maggie will be working at her house all weekend so feel free to talk to the artist at work. Maggie is also exhibiting work by local Moonambel artists Jacqui & Russell Drever and ceramisist Sanne Malkaer. The beautifully renovated mud brick octagonal home, all done by Maggie herself, is a pleasant back drop for these talented artists to display their art pieces. The weather was kind for our Easter photo exhibition with the crowds coming to both days. The standard was very high and we had a record number of entries with the judge choosing seventeen Highly Commended photos (it is usually just a couple It took a long time for him to finally choose a winner. So here are the final results.
We would like to thank all the photographers for making our show such a high standard. Without you there is no show.
Easter is near and so is our Exhibition. We have many fantastic photos in the competition and a market with lots of variety of goodies for sale. The Easter egg hunt for the children should be fun and the Sunday 'Meet & Mingle' is always a winner. Just remember in your Easter weekend to come to the exhibition in Moonambel either Saturday or Sunday.
Once again we are holding an Easter Photographic Competition. The theme, 'Capturing Character', is opening up a world of imagination and we expect to see many different interpretations. Entry forms are available from Jan Curtis (see poster)    The Twin As we expected, the artists, Merri Hogan and Barry Fox, provided us with a very classy exhibition. Their work definitely complemented each other with the natural colours of earth and timber providing an Australian atmosphere. Barry exhibited his Australian animals but also some new creations from the fantasy world. They were definitely a talking point.

 We are thrilled to present two local artists combining in what promises to be a most exciting exhibition. Both artists are branching out into new areas. Merri Hogan comes from a drawing background and is exploring this further with etching and printing. Barry Fox usually carves small animals and is venturing into the fantasy world.  We are also running a market on the Saturday 9am to 1pm. Contact Jan Curtis if you would like to run a stall. (see poster) As usual, MAHG will run a barbecue stall and devonshire teas (or coffees) during the market hours. See you there!
 Fallen Angel by Bernard Abadie Thanks, Bernard, for your imagination which goes beyond the theme of the event. We love it!  Moonambel CBD by Maggie Barnes-Oake The public was given the task of choosing a favourite artwork. Not an easy task with the quality and variety of the entries. Eventually, at the 'Meet and Greet' on Sunday afternoon, 'Moonambel CBD' by Maggie Barnes-Oake was declared the favourite. Maggie is our own very talented artist who has many artistic styles under her belt both 2D and 3D but is recently dabbling in caricatures involving Moonambel people, places and events. We always enjoy seeing her latest work recognising who and what she is depicting in each artwork. We wonder what she will do in her next venture. Local politician Louise Staley donated the $200 prize and enjoyed being able to meet the artist as well as present the cheque.  Louise Staley (left) presents Maggie with her prize. The event concluded with the magnificent spread and local wines being enjoyed by one and all...

All photos by Graeme Akers  After a very successful dabble with black and white in the charcoal workshop we are moving on to our next exhibition 'Celebrating Colour', a multimedia spectrum of the rainbow. You are welcome to exhibit (see previous poster calling for artists) or join us for a Springtime activity taking in a market on the Saturday showing. |
