LOCALS will be able to enjoy some of the best paintings and other art pieces entered by their friends, neighbours and colleagues in the 60th Annual Art Exhibition held by the Mareeba Art Society opening next Monday.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the exhibition there is a special award on ‘reflections of Mareeba’, relating to the history of the exhibition and Mareeba.
This year, the exhibition will not take place on the week leading up to the rodeo on 15-16 July but instead open a week before on Monday, 3 July and run until noon on Saturday at the Mareeba Sports Hall on Walsh Street.
Mareeba Art Society president Faythe Keogh said it is amazing for a small town to have an exhibition run for as long as Mareeba’s has and is inviting everyone to come along to support it.
“We have a fair line-up of categories and we have tried to cater to the wider population,” she said.
“Come and join us and celebrate that a little community can have an annual art exhibition that is 60 years old.
“That is brilliant for such a small group and if it wasn’t for the sponsors and the volunteers, we wouldn’t have an art exhibition.”
