OUR 2012 ART EXHIBITION

It's a busy time for local Rotarians with the Flagstaff Hill Rotary Club's 2012 Art Exhibition just around the corner. This year's exhibition runs from Saturday 14th April through to Saturday 21st April.
We are pleased to once again be at the Flagstaff Hill Primary School. Their new hall proved ideal for both artists and the viewing public for the first time last year.

Established local and interstate artists such as Trevor Newman, John Lacey, Alan Ramachandran, John McCartin, Andris Jansons and Maxwell Wilks will be represented.

Each Saturday and Sunday morning and afternoon artists will be demonstrating their talents.

Many young emerging artists also have the opportunity to showcase their work.

Prize winning art work from competitions at the Flagstaff Hill
Primary School and Our Saviour Lutheran School Aberfoyle
Park will be on display.

Maxwell Wilks from Victoria is our special guest. He was a major prize winner at this year's
Victor Harbor Rotary Art Show.His Pathway to the Ocean which features in our promotional advertisements is one of six paintings he'll have at our exhibition.

Another highlight for us will be a tribute collection of the work of the late Peter Chaplin, a previous guest artist of ours.

2012 marks our art exhibition's 22nd anniversary and each year it just keeps growing stronger. So much so, it is now one of the state's most respected events of its type.

Around 600 paintings will be on view and available for sale.

This is also an opportunity to secure a vibrant painting by Pro Hart, one of Australia's most famous and loved artists. Pro Hart's Wild Flowers has been kindly donated by it's current owner Briony Lyon to help raise funds for Operation Cleft, one of a number of our club's worthy charities to benefit from this years event.

The Flagstaff Hill Rotary Club's 2012 Art Exhibition supports South Australian and interstate artists by providing gallery space, networking opportunities and prize money.

Not only are paintings available at reasonable prices, but funds raised by the club will be used for Rotary humanitarian projects.

Art Exhibition dates : Sat 14th to Sat 21st April

Opening times: 10am - 5.30pm each day

Venue: Flagstaff Hill Primary School Hall, Black Road

General admission: $5 (which includes repeat entries to the 8 day exhibition, a catalogue and the chance to win a painting valued at least $300.)
