Wondai Regional Art Gallery has burst into colour for April with its annual Garden Expo Art Competition.<\/p>\n

Artists young and old from across the South Burnett and beyond have entered works that depict a “garden” theme.<\/p>\n

They are in a range of media … from photographs and collages to paper tole and watercolours.<\/p>\n

Gallery co-ordinator Elaine Madill said the variety of types of works on display had made judging the exhibition very difficult.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hard task went to Mundubbera artist Suzie Capewell.<\/p>\n

Prize money was donated by the Wondai Garden Expo Committee.<\/p>\n

“We enjoy donating profits back into the community such as the art gallery and other community events around the region,” president Damien Biltoft said.<\/p>\n

Damien presented the lucky winners with their prizes.<\/p>\n

Ages 4-6 received art equipment while all the other categories received cash prizes.<\/p>\n

The Wondai Autumn Garden Expo will be held at the Wondai Sportsgrounds on April 19 (8:00am to 4:30pm) and April 20 (8:00am to 1:00pm).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Entry is\u00a0 $5 for adults or $8 for a two-day pass. Children under 15 are free.<\/p>\n
