ARTISTS from across Victoria have jumped at entering works in Pyramid Hill Progress Association’s art show and exhibition.
Almost 200 entries have come from around the state for the Major’s Vision competition and exhibition opening next week.
“We starting to get a bit excited,” said one of the organisers Terry Wood. “We are very pleased with artist support from many areas.”
The progress association has secured sponsorship to offer $4100 in prizemoney with the major section being works depicting the town’s famous hill.
And Mr Wood said dozens of artworks by local students would also be displayed in the town’s memorial hall for the 10-day exhibition.
“We think this is going to be a wonderful event for our town, showcasing fine quality artworks and inspiring local students and the community,” he said.
The exhibition will also feature a display of artefacts from Paul Haw’s Yung Bulug Keeping Place at Boort.
Mr Wood said entries in the art competition were now being judged by Bendigo artist Geoff Paynter ahead of the official opening.
