Hampton Park Uniting Church held its fifth annual art exhibition last weekend, and the coordinator said this year was the best out of all.
The exhibition, named Art, Culture, and Diversity, was held on Saturday 15 March, with an opening night on the day before.
Coordinator Lyn Mcbain said the opening night had seen a turnout of 90 people and the vibe was fantastic.
“We always have a proper opening. We had the Cook Islanders come and sing. We had a gazebo at the front, and the Cook Islanders sang and were very welcoming in their own language, which is what I wanted, singing in their language with their ukuleles,” she recalled.
“They were fantastic. They had great food and wine.
“We sold quite a bit of art, so that’s really good for the artists as well.”
The exhibition presented about 90 art pieces to the audience and gathered the works of about 50 local artists.
Local artist Donna won The People’s Choice Award.
