BOWEN’S ABOUT TO GET ARTSY, ARE YOU READY?

The Bowen Art Society has announced its annual art show is returning!
For all the artists and creatives amongst you it’s time to get crafting, painting, drawing, or whatever your medium, the Art Show wants to see it.

The theme has been made public as Australiana, nice and broad but also thematic. Australiana covers anything pertaining to Australian culture, society, geography and ecology, especially if it is endemic to Australia or has reached iconic status. Hopefully that sparks some ideas to get your art juices flowing and to start designing.

The Bowen Art Shows opening night will be Friday, August 15th and starts at 6pm. The show will go until Tuesday the 19th so there’s plenty of time to see the exhibition at the Bowen Community Hall. Closer to the date a form will be released for all prospective artists to fill out and enter the exhibition.

For more updates or changes keep your eyes peeled on the Bowen Art Society’s Facebook page. But in the meantime, what are you waiting for? Go and get artsy!
