PREVIEW EVENING

Last night, 16th May 2025, we celebrated the opening of our Members’ Autumn exhibition with, once again, a very high standard of artworks. Joanna Dudson-Scott, one of our patrons, was the guest judge and she gave all of us plenty to think about with her 'pillars' that she was looking for as she narrowed down her 5 choices for merit awards and $50 Drawing Room vouchers. The 'pillars' included composition, use of colour and vision. She walked us to each artwork and gave the reasons for her choices :)

The 5 merit award winners were:

Max Currie for Charleston

Isla Vincent for Sunny Day at White’s Bay

Pete James for Abandoned Village, Kopara, Westland

Chris Beech for Papillon

Helen Rietveld for Persimmon

Congratulations to all 5 winners and everyone else who submitted to this year's Members' Autumn Exhibition.

If you weren't able to attend the preview last night, it’s highly recommended that you come along and check it out.
