The future of art in the South Burnett is in safe hands if the works on display at the Wondai Regional Art Gallery this month are evidence.<\/p>\n

The gallery is filled with paintings, pottery and sculptures by young South Burnett artists in the gallery’s biennial Junior Art Competition, sponsored this year by Bendigo Bank.<\/p>\n

Proud parents, carers and friends filled the gallery for the recent opening night and the announcement of the prize winners.<\/p>\n

Cash prizes were awarded in four age groups in both the 2D (paintings and photographs) and 3D (pottery and sculptures)\u00a0 categories\u00a0(see prize winners, below).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deputy Mayor and gallery patron Cr Ros Heit said the artworks were very impressive.<\/p>\n

Gallery co-ordinator Elaine Madill said the judge, artist Sue Lederhose, had told her she would have liked to have been able to hand four times the number of prizes.<\/p>\n

The exhibitions will remain on display until 3:00pm on Sunday, August 31.<\/p>\n
