Local artists and photographers have taken over the Kingaroy Art Gallery for May with three exhibitions of quality works.
Gallery volunteer Wayne Brown, who compered tonight’s official opening of the exhibitions, commented that visitors would have to go “a long way to see art of a higher standard in a regional gallery in Queensland”.
And the crowd who turned out for the opening night agreed.
In the main gallery, works by the Monday Art Group line the walls. This group of 11 friends, under the guidance of well-known watercolourist Dot Rowland, having been meeting monthly for the past three years in the 1913 Council Chambers.
In Gallery 2, photographers Max Walters and Ivor Dimmock, from the Murgon Camera Club, have a display of prints.
Wayne said these works have been proving popular with visitors to the gallery in the lead-up to tonight’s opening, and several had been already sold.
In the small gallery, works by ‘Carmel and Friends” – Kingaroy printmaker Carmel Nott and members of the Jumping Ants Art Group – are featured.
The three exhibitions will remain on display at the Kingaroy Gallery until June 3.
