The exhibition opened on Thursday, March 28, and continued until Monday, April 1.
About 300 people attended the exhibition to appreciate the artistic creations of the 12 artists whose work was on display.
This year, a new award was introduced in memory of Lee Stephenson, the woman who was instrumental in introducing Art 4 CFA to the community.
Ms Stephenson, who also used to write book reviews for The Telegraph, was missed dearly by her friends and family, so the award was made to remember her.

Lynda Robinson received the public’s vote for her work Sugarloaf Creek.
Fellow artistist Wendy Webster said Ms Robinson was a very popular artist.
“Most people around the district would have one of her pictures,” Ms Webster said.
The award was presented by Ms Stephenson’s husband, Roger, on the show’s last day.
The Art 4 CFA exhibition is a community and fundraising event for the brigade that hosts it.
“The artists put on a show in one of the local fire sheds to raise money for the brigade,” Ms Webster said.
“This year was Tallarook, next year is Hilldene and the following it will be Glenaroua.”
This year, Art 4 CFA exhibited 106 artworks, 20 per cent of which were sold.
“There was also a raffle, and there was also admittance money ... all that goes to CFA,” she said.
