In 2024, the Deniliquin Easter Art Show featured 307 artworks from artists spanning from Far North Queensland to Melbourne.
The exhibition is delivered by the Edward River Art Society and the Rotary Club of Deniliquin and carefully curated to fill the Deni Multi Arts Centre and Multi Arts Hall - both beautiful buildings with historical significance to the community - right in the heart of the Deniliquin CBD.
ERAS president Louise Graham said this year’s exhibition features more local artists than in the last few years, and 40 youth artists who will be judged in the main art prize categories as well as for the special youth prize.
“We also have a different variety of 3D artworks - which is more than just the traditional sculptures people expect,” Mrs Graham said.
“And we’ve also seen more entries in our photography section, including drone and iPhone photos.”
The art show opened with a gala last night, which was the first chance to see the entries and who the judges have selected as winners.
Serious and casual art lovers can now peruse the art at their own leisure from today until Easter Monday.
This popular annual event attracts an enthusiastic audience of art buyers and appreciators across the Easter long weekend.
In 2024, entries fit into one of eight art categories - works on paper, oils, acrylics, mixed medium, miniature and small paintings, 3D art works, black and white photography and colour photography.
There are also three acquisitive prizes, a prize for best local scene, best local artist and best young artist.
And every guest will have the chance to vote for who they want to see win the people’s choice prize.
Entry is $5 per person at the door.
The exhibition will open from noon to 5pm today, 10am to 5pm tomorrow and Sunday and 10am to noon on Monday.
