Frameless

It is on again!!! Kim Bennett from Arts Victoria has arranged for the Gallery to exhibit local artists work from the 21^stof October to 29^thof January. As the title suggests works will be unframed and are to be priced up to $80. When a sale is made the purchaser takes the piece with them and it is replaced by another piece of work. It is hoped that locals and visitors will take advantage of this opportunity to purchase artand in the process local artists will be featured and art in the area promoted. If you are interested in participating in this exhibition contact Kim through the Swan Hill Regional Library or emailher kbennett@rav.net.au participants can submit up to 6 unframed. Work needs to be submitted to the Gallery by the 18^th of October.
