LAST weekend’s art exhibition held at the Chiltern’s Old Court House hosted by its committee of management drew 40 art lovers to the opening night on Friday.

Court House committee member Lois Hotson said organisers were delighted with the response.

The exhibition was opened by local Chiltern artist Quentin Bell.

Artworks by Chiltern Art Collective creatives included paintings, drawings, photographs 3D items as well as metal sculptures with 62 items overall on show.

Twenty artists mainly from around Chiltern exhibited with a few drawn from Albury-Wodonga, Mansfield, Rutherglen, and Barnawartha.

“We sold more than nine artworks over the weekend,” Ms Hotson said.

“We were very happy with funds of $900 raised that goes back into upkeep of the courthouse and buying more hooks to hang works.”

Local Chiltern artist Wendy McDougall won a raffle with a painting from Bill Hotson.

Open on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm entry had been by a gold coin donation.
