Exotic Trails - An exhibition by Carolyn Ward
Executive returns for another year
At the recent AGM of the Mount Perry Arts Group Inc., the Executive Committee (Helen, Vivienne, Lesley and Geoff) were returned to their positions for another year.
The gallery has held eight exhibitions since the last AGM and has been proud to present several debut artists to the exhibition scene. We also carried out several print-related projects under a grant from the Bendigo Bank, and put up signature FLORENCE BROADHURST wallpaper in the gallery building, under an earlier grant from Evolution Mining.
A new resolution now gives a discount on the exhibition commission fee for paid up members who exhibit.
All memberships are due for renewal on 1st February each year.
SUBSCRIBE or check our blog pages for glimpses from past and current exhibitions as they are posted.

EXOTIC TRAILS - Sat 15th July 2pm
“A lovely collection of visual stimuli
that inspires the imagination”
Carolyn Ward grew up in a small mining town in the County of Yorkshire, in England. Although she showed artistic talent in her school years, the average expectation was to work at the coal mines or textile factories so she was discouraged from believing art was something she could pursue.

2023 - An Update at last!
Since September 2022, the Arts Group has a new executive comprising Helen (Pres), Vivienne (Vice Pres), Lesley (Sec) and Geoff (Treasurer).
We've been hard at work and have held quite a few exhibitions from then 'til now, so, here we bring you a few glimpses of collections that have graced our gallery over the past year, starting with the previous Executive under outgoing President, Kris Couerleroi.
Mount Perry's Gallery (aka the Shelley Kelly Gallery) is a great place enjoyed by Arts Trail followers, Locals, Travellers, Grey Nomads and weekend cruisers.
Come, enjoy and see for yourself!
Here's some snippets from our exciting exhibitions over the past year...
"Double Exposure" - 2022
A Photographic & Digital Art exhibition by Dan Ackroyd and Ryan Jorgensen.
This was Lucinda's second ever exhibition, and she is already proving popular with media and art buyers!
That's all for now from the Mount Perry Arts Group Inc.!
