We had wonderful compliments on the quality of work and creativity and made many sales.
A big thank you to everyone who helped set up, placed their names on the rosters and then helped clean up at the end of the event. A great team effort!
Our 38th Annual Art Show is now over. The event which was held at the Boilerhouse Art Gallery in Sunbury was on for 8 days finishing on Saturday, the 10th.
