2023 - An Update at last!

It's been a while since we've put out a blog on this BlogSpot page ... and our Group's Presidents, Secretaries and other office holders have changed over the years. So, to catch up to the present ...

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.

If you are travelling through the North Burnett region of Queensland, be sure to drop in and visit the Shelley Kelly Gallery in Mount Perry. The gallery includes our arts and crafts shop, with lovely items, handmade by our members, as well as printed gift and greeting cards, books, canvasses, prints, and more, featuring the wonderful works of our talented locals. Thanks to our local volunteer (for 53 years this year!) Historian, Pat Smith, there is also a History Room in the building, with archives of info, maps, family histories, and photos of the area, stretching back over 200 years. Donations gratefully received.

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!
