Kingaroy’s Nimue Art Gallery is planning some changes in 2013 but visitors will have to wait until next year to find out what they are.
The gallery held a combined Christmas Party and art sale on Saturday night that attracted almost 100 guests to its King Street premises.
Nimue is celebrating its third year of operations as one of the South Burnett’s few privately run galleries. Curator Cherry Carroll told guests she planned to make some changes to the gallery’s operations in 2013.
However, the features that visitors have become accustomed to – such as a wide range of local paintings, pottery, metalwork, sculpture, craft and gift items – would continue to be available.
And so will a range of art classes that the gallery introduced this year, covering everything from introductory drawing to advanced painting techniques.
Guests at the Christmas party included many local artists who works have been displayed at the gallery over the course of the year, along with Kingaroy businesspeople and friends of the gallery.
A multi-draw raffle was also held during the evening as a fund-raiser for the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter.
First prize was an original artwork by Karol Oakley, which won this year’s Motors In Motion Festival art competition.
Original artworks by Dot Rowland and Diana Bolton were also donated as prizes.
