Art on Show Events

2019 Woollam Constructions Art on Show Awards Exhibition and Awards Presentation Opening Evening

The talented artists from the Slade Point Drawing Group, a group of likeminded artists with a passion for Life Drawing who meet weekly to draw the nude figure, joined us in 2018. Artists observed the human form and were drawing from life using mediums such as charcoal, conte, pastel or pencil. Onlookers invited to try their hand.

Artspace Mackay Gallery Director Tracey Heathwood presented Director’s Choice: Artists’ books floor talks
Choosing a selection of her favorite artists’ books from the Mackay Regional Council artists’ books. Tracey has a long association with the gallery and its collection of artists’ books and is herself a practicing printmaker, and her shared personal insights into some of her favorite artists and artists’ books was a wonderful addition to this years event.

Mackay Art Society joined us in 2018.  Showcasing their talents and demonstrating the fine art of easel painting, depicting the artist’s individual style, form colour and details.

The skilled potters from our very own Pioneer Potters demonstrated wheel thrown pottery, building, textures on clay, pinch pots and coil work. Children visiting the venue also enjoyed joining in and decorating pots.
