gift!<\/p>\n<p>The gallery is currently hosting its traditional &#8220;Under The Bed Sale&#8221; which encourages South Burnett artists to clear their cupboards (and under their beds) of unsold artworks.<\/p>\n<p>The artists are urged to offer the works at a discount price, with the incentive that all the cash will go straight to them, ie. the gallery won&#8217;t be taking a commission.<\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s no fee for the artists to enter their works &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some of the region&#8217;s best-known artists have works on the walls, many with price tags that would not even cover the cost of framing!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The exhibition was opened last Friday night with one of the biggest crowds seen in the gallery for years.<\/p>\n<p>A choir of schoolchildren from Wondai P-9 State School performed Christmas carols during the evening, with many proud parents and friends watching on.<\/p>\n<p>It was the choir&#8217;s debut performance in public after weeks of practising, adding a very festive feel to the night!<\/p>\n<p>The Under The Bed Sale will continue at the Wondai Art Gallery until 3:00pm on January 31.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery is open seven days a week (except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year&#8217;s Day) from 10:00am to 3:00pm, and entry is free.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_367711\"
