ORGANISERS of next month’s Major’s Vision Art Show in Pyramid Hill are pitching rail travel to bring more tourists to the town.
Terry Wood said the art show and competition would enhance the town’s attraction for people looking for a day trip out of Bendigo.
“The exhibition will be in the memorial hall just metres from the railway station and the more energetic can also take a walk out to the hill,” he said. “The train timetable works in our favour for attracting visitors to town.”
Mr Wood said more than 120 entries had already been received with more expected before the closing date on January 31.
Paintings will be exhibited in the hall for a week by Pyramid Hill Progress Association.
Mr Wood said: “The art show and competition aims to promote and expose art to our young people and provide an art show to the local population who may not have had the opportunity to see quality art.”
The Major’s Vision Art Show was originally scheduled for last October but postponed by the flood emergency. Mr Wood said support of sponsors had been vital in rescheduling the event.
