The Colours Of Yarraman Art Competition may be one of the shortest art exhibitions in the South Burnett, but judging by the large crowd who attended its opening on Saturday night it is no less worthy for the brevity of its season.<\/p>\n

This year’s opening night drew townsfolk – \u00a0as well as many visitors from Blackbutt –\u00a0to the Yarraman Community Hall for an evening of light music, provided by Andrew and Kaz Maddern from the South Burnett Community Orchestra, wine and finger foods.<\/p>\n

Guests mingled, chatted, admired the entries and watched a demonstration of pastel painting courtesy of Nanango artist Lyn Felsman.<\/p>\n

This year’s competition was organised by Rosalie Gallery curator Bronwyn Holland following the retirement of long-time organiser Margaret McNae last year.<\/p>\n

At the opening night, organisers passed a special vote of thanks to Margaret for her many years of hard work nurturing the event, which has now grown to become a fixture on the town’s social calendar.<\/p>\n

The competition offers cash prizes to first and second placegetters in each of its seven sections. This year it attracted entries from as far afield as western Queensland and parts of the Darling Downs, as well as Yarraman and South Burnett artists.<\/p>\n

The opening night was compered by Yarraman Community Council president Murray McGee, and officially opened by Toowoomba councillor Nancy Sommerfeld,<\/p>\n

Bronwyn Holland, announcing the 2014 winners, said she was very pleased with the high standard of entries and also pleasantly surprised to see such a large “and different” crowd at the opening night.<\/p>\n

Judges Lyn Felsman and Judith Goodman said they had great difficulty picking the winners in some sections.<\/p>\n

As a result, a number of commendations had also been awarded in those sections which had attracted a larger-than-usual number of entries.<\/p>\n

A Special Award and a Curator’s Award were also handed out – the former going to Lea Enchelmaier for her acrylic painting of pioneer life on a timber mill saw blade, the latter to Nanango sculptor Peter Kozina for his life-size metal sculpture of a railway fettler.<\/p>\n

After the art awards were announced, Melanie Doheny, from the Yarraman Community Council, then announced the winners of Yarraman’s new Business Awards, which have been sponsored this year by her company, H2O Grants and Funding.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was open on Saturday and Sunday only.<\/p>\n
