"The Mortlake Art Show 2016 committee gathered likeminded artists, if artists can ever be that, together in a well managed exhibition venue.
I was humbled to win 'Best in Show', judged by Michelle Shearer. Also, planning my painting for next year already." |
Bob McKinnon, Clunes Artist and Winner of the 2016 People's Choice Award
"I enjoyed being involved in the 2016 Mortlake Art Show, from start to finish it was a well run event.
From wine and canapés on the Friday night, to the bagpipes and poetry. I thoroughly enjoyed the event, and look forward to attending next year. "

"A foundation of quality, both old and new, was set by the Mortlake Art Show in its inaugural year of 2015.
Now local and Australian artists have an opportunity to showcase their works and lives in this boutique exhibition." |

"Mortlake Visual Arts Group provided a great example last year (2015) at their Queen’s Birthday long weekend Art Show of how to organise a successful, enjoyable and well attended local event.
The Show featured artworks from many artists, past and present; and the wide spectrum of styles and subject matters featured in the artworks contributed to a very inclusive and interesting exhibition. I’m looking forward to this year’s event; and wish the organisers all the best with their endeavours. I encourage all established and budding artists to enter their artwork; the public greatly enjoyed viewing the impressive artistic talent inherent in our local artists at last year’s exhibition." |

"As a novice I enjoyed being part of the 2015 Mortlake Art Show, as not only did I get to appreciate the works of past and present artists of various ages from our district but I met lovely local people too during the set-up and show.
The experience inspired me to continue my 'dabbling' and to try and allow more time for further experimentation and practice." |
