THE Dungog Art Society (DAS) is gearing up for “the Archies” once more.
To prepare locals for the region’s version of the Archibald Price, DAS is hosting a ‘paint and sip’ evening on
Thursday, 26 March at the Bank Hotel Dungog.
The subjects of the night’s artworks will be those in attendance.
Attendees will set out to draw someone in the supplied time limit before moving onto the next model.
“This is a fun event where you don’t need to be an experienced artist,” said event organiser and artist Lynne McNairn.
“Just be prepared to have a go!:
The event will kick off from 3pm, with attendees expected to bring their own drawing pad, pencils, crayons etc.
“[The event is] no cost, other than buying a drink, although a small donation is always welcome.
“More details are on the Dungog Art Society Facebook page,” said Ms McNair.
The Dungog Archies is an annual portrait prize hosted by DAS, in collaboration with Dungog By Design Collective and the Clarence Town-Dungog Branch of the CWA, established to celebrate local art and artists in the Dungog Shire.
The Archies competition will be held in May.
