THE Rotary Club of Yea will host their 51st annual Art Show in the iconic Yea Shire Hall from Wednesday, January 25 2023 until Sunday, January 29.

Opening night will be held from 7.30pm on January 25 and the entry cost is $25 per person.

Prizes are thanks to the ongoing and generous support of the Frank Hargrave Trust, as well as many other sponsors and total more than $7,500, with a first prize of $2,500.

Artist entry forms are available online at www.yearotary.org.au and close on Friday, January 6 2023.

All prizes are non–acquisitive.

The Art Show is more than just another fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Yea; the opening night is a fun social evening and attending guests will have first choice to purchase some wonderful artwork.

This year the theme for Opening Night is Red and White – for Canada which is in recognition of the current (and first female) Rotary International President Jennifer Jones who is a Canadian.

Come along, enjoy a complimentary drink and some nibbles and make the room of a sea of colourful red and white.

The raffle prize is a beautiful painting by talented artist Julian Bruere, with ticket sales commencing in December 2022.

The Yea Rotary Art Show is always held over the Australia Day weekend and has built a significant reputation on the Victorian Art Show calendar.

This is made possible by the artists who have supported the show over the years and the public who attend the show and acquire works for their own collections.

After holding a rather reduced Art Show in 2022 due to COVID restrictions, the 2023 show promises to be better than ever.

The Art Show is open from 10am to 5pm daily except for the final day – January 29 when doors close at 3pm.

Entry fee is just $5 and you will enjoy viewing some excellent artwork.

Patrons can purchase tickets at the door, however bookings are preferred for Opening Night via www.trybooking.com/CDSGB to assist with catering.
