29/01/20202 – Our exhibition at Charlestown Square kicked off on Monday and is once again creating a lot of interest among the shoppers – with several sales already, our ever popular People’s Choice and our $1 raffle for a fabulous watercolour by Jenny Elks. Yesterday we were happy to be able to welcome Jacqui Hemsley, Manager of Arts, Culture & Tourism at Lake Macquarie Council, as this year’s judge  and a full list of her prize winners are listed below. The exhibition will run for 2 weeks so if you’re in Charlestown be sure to stop by to have a look and chat to the artists on duty. Remember, as paintings sell they are replaced so the display is constantly changing!
