November 9, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The spotlight has been turned on the South Burnett’s artistic talent, with two Kingaroy art galleries deciding to feature only local artists during November.<\/p>\n

The exhibitions – at the South Burnett Regional Council’s Kingaroy Art Gallery in Haly Street, and Cherry Carroll’s Nimu\u00e9 Gallery in King Street – both had their official openings on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

At the Kingaroy Art Gallery, the walls feature the “South Burnett On The Wall” exhibition, which includes works by 38 local artists across a wide range of media, from traditional oils and acrylics to paper tole and photography.<\/p>\n

Gallery curator Fiona Kemp\u00a0said the idea of “South Burnett-only” had been brainstormed for a while but the idea was brought forward at short notice when a booking was cancelled.<\/p>\n

She said it was also a way of thanking all the local artists who have been supporting the gallery for so long.<\/p>\n

Deputy Mayor Keith Campbell, who opened the exhibition, said he was always amazed by the work of the very creative people in the local community.<\/p>\n

Gallery volunteer Wayne Brown said the idea had proven so popular, that the “On The Wall” exhibition would become an annual event.<\/p>\n

Also featured at the Kingaroy Gallery was a room full of works by talented Kingaroy State High School Year 12 student (for a few more days, at least) \u00a0Jess Elford.<\/p>\n

Many of Jess’ works have been shown individually at the gallery but this is the first time they have all been hung together,<\/p>\n

Just around the corner, at the Nimu\u00e9 Gallery, award-winning artist Shannus O’Sullivan’s latest exhibition was being opened by southburnett.com.au’s<\/strong> Dafyd Martindale.<\/p>\n

Shannus’ works depict a whimsical view of Australia and hang in major galleries nationally and overseas.<\/p>\n

The Hivesville artist has also donated one of his works to be raffled to help raise funds for Murgon woman Shona Muckert who is planing to have extensive surgery next year to allow her to walk again.<\/p>\n
