Blackbutt Art Gallery volunteer Judith Andersen with some of the wide range of works on show … the gallery represents about a dozen South Burnett artists and crafters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 18, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of people may have thought the concept of an art gallery in Blackbutt was a crazy idea back in 2002.<\/p>\n

But after 18 years of continuous operation, it looks like its founders had a better sense of the market than their critics.<\/p>\n

Today the gallery – which was originally called Butt Art – has become one of Blackbutt’s tourist icons.<\/p>\n

Last week the community group that runs it put out a call for more talented artists and craft workers to join them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the secret of the gallery’s success is that rather than showcase the works of a few artists, it hosts works from up to a dozen artists and craftspeople at any time.<\/p>\n

And rather than just showing the works of Blackbutt artists, the gallery draws artists and craftworkers from all over the region.<\/p>\n

This allows tourists to browse a wide range of subjects, styles and price points that helps ensure a steady stream of sales year-round.<\/p>\n

Recently a couple of its long-standing artists retired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So now it would like to replace them with new, up-and-coming South Burnett artists who would welcome more opportunities to display and sell their work.<\/p>\n

“We’re a small gallery with a big reputation,” gallery secretary David Daniel said.<\/p>\n

“We also enjoy encouraging local talent within the talent-rich South Burnett community.”<\/p>\n

David said artists who would like to find out more to drop into the Gallery at 38A Coulson Street, phone the Gallery on (07) 4170-0221, email them<\/b><\/a> or visit the Gallery’s Facebook page<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
