A small crowd gathered at the Kingaroy Art Gallery on Friday night for the official opening of the Gallery’s final exhibition for 2013.<\/p>\n

Until January 3, the Main Gallery will be playing host to “The Artists’ Verandah”, a collection of works by seven Nanango artists: Danielle Lawrence, Megan Cridland, Cherie Sibley, Barbara Larsen, Wanda Lucas, Dawn Gordon and Joy Hastings.<\/p>\n

The artists last exhibited at the Kingaroy Art Gallery in January this year.<\/p>\n

They work across a variety of media including acrylics, oils, graphite and coloured pencils, watercolours, photography and mosaics.<\/p>\n

The new exhibition features 54 works, most of which have never been seen at the gallery before.<\/p>\n

Gallery Three, meanwhile, has 11 original paper tole creations by artist Shirley Price on show.<\/p>\n

Selected artworks from the South Burnett Regional Council’s permanent art collection are on display in Gallery Two, and an exhibition of painted skateboards is on display in the Youth Gallery.<\/p>\n

Curator Wayne Brown, who opened the exhibition, congratulated the artists on the work they’d put into their latest collaborative exhibition.<\/p>\n

He said he was certain it would delight visitors over the holiday season, and looked forward to seeing the artists continue to develop in the year ahead.<\/p>\n
