Bright Art Gallery is all set up for its 55th annual exhibit
Preparations are complete for one of Australia’s best known Art Shows in the beautiful town of Bright in north east Victoria.
Stephne McCall, President of the Gallery, says that this year’s show promises to live up to the high standards of the previous ones.
There are 760 paintings on display, showcasing artists from as far away as Sydney and many parts of Victoria. Works will be judged in various media categories, while the Grand Winner attracts a prize of $5,000 and becomes part of the Gallery’s important collection.
The judge this year is Amanda Hyatt, one of Australia’s foremost water colourists and recognised in many other countries.
He says that there is sufficient variety of style and price to suit all tastes and pockets.
The exhibition runs until 14 May making it the longest running art show of this type in Australia.
It coincides with the annual Bright Autumn Festival, famous for the beautiful colours of the Autumn trees.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
