Artistic talent on show in Chiltern

AWARD–winning Chiltern–based artist Kirrily Anderson will open an art exhibition in the Old Court House hosted by its management committee and the Chiltern Art Collective at the end of next week. The art showcase running for the last three years has built on its ongoing success, offering an exhibition for local artists in spring and autumn each year. Committee management president and artist Bill Hotson said the exhibition catered for both professional and aspiring artists. “We have talented artists in the area and there will be a variety of mediums among them paintings, sculptures, photography, metal sculptures, ceramics, felt and 3D work,” he said. While the event has grown, Mr Hotson said it remained focused on local artists. He said funds raised by a gold coin donation entry fee helps maintain the upkeep of the courthouse. The opening night at a cost of $5 cash for entry will be held next week on Friday, November 1 offering drinks and nibbles with doors open at 7pm while the official opening is being held at 7.30pm. The exhibition runs over Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3 from 10am to 4pm. Mr Hotson said the annual exhibition held twice a year is on the Chiltern calendar of events. The Old Gaol behind the courthouse (circa 1874) located at 58 Main Street will also be open for viewing and to hear stories of the past. An RSVP by Wednesday, October 30 for the opening night is requested to Lois Hotson on 0457 262 358 or by email at hotson@westnet.com.au.
