Join the Club

For more than four decades, members of the Lismore Art Club have been creating and showing art for others to enjoy, something they plan to continue for many years to come.

The Lismore Art Club's 44th annual Art Exhibition will be opened by members tonight, August 5, at the Lismore Workers Club from 6pm.

The free exhibition features a huge array of works created by members of the Lismore Art Club, who attend monthly tutorials with special guest artists to learn new techniques and brush up on their skills.

The exhibition also features a special section of paintings by students at Wilson Park Public School, which has become something of a tradition in recent years.

"A delightful feature of the Lismore Art Club is that members comprise some of the region's most well-know artists as well as new talent, so you get a real patchwork of artwork that reflects the whole spectrum of ages, tastes and experience," said Lismore Art Club member Terry Wells. "The standard certainly keeps on improving year after year, and this exhibition is no exception - it's just a fantastic showcase of local art. Many of the works are for sale too and there's nothing quite like taking home an original artwork."

The Lismore Art Club's 44th annual Art Exhibition will be open for viewing from this Thursday to Saturday, August 5-7, from 10.30am-8.30pm, and this Sunday, August 8, from 10.30am-3pm.

While entry to the exhibit is free, donations to Wilson Park Public School - the Lismore Art Club's chosen charity - would be greatly appreciated.

Visitors will also be asked to vote in the special 'People's Choice Award'.

The Lismore Art Club is always happy for new members to join, with all ages and levels of experience welcome. Find out more at the exhibition or phone 6624 2912.
