July 10, 2013
An excited crowd packed the Kingaroy Art Gallery on Saturday morning for the opening of its July exhibition.
This month’s main show features the works of five different local and visiting artists – Kingaroy mother and daughter team Jenny and Rachel Gemmell; Sunshine Coast artist Trish Robson; and Toowoomba’s Fiona Cockfield and Michael Bishop.
All five artists have completely different styles (four are painters; Rachel is a photographer) and the net effect is an exhibition full of vibrant colour, diversity and style.
The rear gallery, meanwhile, features a new exhibition of paper tole artworks by Kingaroy’s Rosemarie Matthews-Frederick; and the front gallery displays new works executed in a variety of media by members of the Jumping Ants Arts Group.
Last month’s entries in the Council’s recent Youth Digital Art competition will remain on display in the Youth Gallery for a further four weeks.
Outgoing SBRC Cr Cheryl Dalton performed the official opening.
Cr Dalton has been chair of the region’s Arts and Culture Portfolio for several years and is also the current head of the Council’s Regional Arts Development Fund committee.
The exhibition will remain on display at the Gallery from 9:00am to 4:30pm Mondays to Fridays and 10:00am to 4:00pm on weekends until the end of the month. Admission is free.
