Colours of Waukivory exhibition debuts at Waukivory Hall

THE inaugural “Colours of Waukivory” art exhibition kicks off on Friday 6 June with an official opening party at 6pm.

The Waukivory Hall will be exhibiting the beautiful works of three local artists, art students and a bespoke wood craftsman on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June from 9am to 3pm.

“The three main artists are Meg Tulk and her fabulous take on the Australian bush, John Andrews with his meticulous garden and forest representations and Richard Rawbone’s love of the ocean expressed delicately,” said Hall representative Anne Andrews.

“They will have a supporting cast of Grahame Rawbone and his glorious pieces of furniture, and several of John’s art class graduates – Sue Morris, Deb Richardson and Sue Sedgwick.”

Alongside the exhibition, art workshops are available with Meg Tulk on Saturday and John Andrews on Sunday (cost of $15 per person).

“Entry to the Hall will be free all weekend, so please join us there,” Anne said.

“All paintings will be for sale, and make sure you purchase raffle tickets for a painting donated by Meg Tulk.”

The exhibition comes after a recent makeover for the historic hall.

“The Waukivory Hall has had a beauty treatment that suits its history and location very well,” Anne said.

“Over 20 local residents have spent several weekends at working bees to freshen it up for some exciting cultural events.”

Art classes with John Andrews are currently being offered each Monday in May.
