THE “Anything Goes” exhibition was officially opened on Saturday 26 July at the Coffs Harbour Showground Gallery.
It features the work of Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group (CHCAG) members in various styles, media and themes.
CHCAG President Sue Roberts, officiated the proceedings.
“This exhibition encouraged our members to think outside the box, where ‘anything goes’,” she said.
“It’s certainly been reflected in the sheer variety of media – watercolour, pen and wash, mixed media, acrylics, pastels – and [in the] artistic content.”
The winner of the People’s Choice from the previous exhibition “Fabulous Fakes” was won by Marion Beer with her “Wheatfields”, inspired by “Green Wheatfield with Cypress” by Vincent Van Gogh.
“We’re always pleased to see the number of votes cast for the People’s Choice award; it’s another way for artists to have their work recognised by the visitors to the Showground Gallery.”
“Anything Goes” ends 10 September and will be followed by the ever popular “All Creatures Great and Small” – a regular on the CHCAG exhibition calendar.
“Our exhibition coordinator Karen Gorzynska, not only oversees the receipt of the artwork, collection of unsold artwork, and the exhibition hanging, but also regular meetings to discuss ideas, feedback, and the following year’s exhibition timetable.
All artworks on show at the gallery are for sale.
Anything Goes is on display until Wednesday 10 September.
The Showground Gallery is open from 10 am to 2 pm, Monday to Saturday, except public holidays, with free entry.
“We welcome new members to join the Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group, no matter where they [are] on their art journey.
“It’s a wonderful way to tap into your creative self, learn new techniques, and display your artwork throughout the year.”
