Exhibition to showcase many mediums

A vast and varied selection of artwork will be on display at the Stirling Street Arts Centre when an annual exhibition is celebrated tomorrow night.

Program coordinator Dee Mosca has promised the Act-Belong-Commit Fire, Fibre and Fine Arts Exhibition is “definitely not your average exhibition”.

“It will include work from 60 artists in a wide variety of mediums, including painting, pottery, weaving, quilts, textiles, felt and more,” Ms Mosca said.

“The art will be in traditional forms as well as some quirky art pieces.”

More than 150 artworks which explore the South West will be on display.

Organisers are inviting anyone to attend tomorrow night with a Viewers’ Choice Award to be chosen and live blues music from Junior Bowles.

Ms Mosca said it was a chance for award-winning and emerging artists in their first exhibition to show off their work to the public.

“While some artists have created new projects, some older pieces have been refreshed in this year’s theme of ‘collaboration’,” she said.

“Our organising committee has selected three artworks with the subject matter of seagulls, landscape and abstract.

“Artists were asked to be inspired by these themes and join the community collaboration of showing a collective of pieces.”

First-time exhibitor Yui Phunseau is a multi-media artist who branched into pottery after starting an introductory course at the centre and is now a member of the Bunbury Studio Potters and will be one artist with work on display.
