Community exhibition to celebrate spring

August 31, 2020

It’s almost spring, and Gunnedah Shire Council is asking people to celebrate with their own creation for a new exhibition.

Artists and budding artists, schools, community groups, hobbyists and just about anyone who would like to create something with a Spring into September theme is asked to get busy on their contribution.

Gunnedah Shire Council Cultural Precinct Team Leader Lauren Mackley said the broad but beautiful theme could encompass everything from birds and bees enjoying the nectar or paintings of blossoms to abstract weavings or sculptures representing the joys of spring.

“This year, we have finally had some rain and it is wonderful to be enjoying a landscape that is coming alive to the spring,” Ms Mackley said.

“Whatever it is you like to create, Spring into September is the opportunity to share your work. This exhibition is open to everyone, whatever your age or your choice of art or craft.

“We would like this to be a true celebration of the Spring, and a great representation of our community.” Artworks for the Spring into September exhibition must be delivered ready to hang to the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery in Chandos Street by 5pm on Friday, September 18.

There are also colouring-in sheets designed especially for particular age groups on the theme.
