Art Speak

Estuary Arts Annual Members Awards Exhibition is a highlight on the exhibition calendar.

Every year the artwork gets better and better and this year is no exception.

The Estuary Arts Members awards showcases artwork in all media by our growing body of artists and students. You must be a current member to take part, and our membership runs from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. This is a joyous exhibition which celebrates our collective creativity. The theme for the 2023 exhibition is ‘Gratitude’. The members exhibition runs for one month from 2 August throughout the art centre’s five galleries, with an opening and award night being held on Friday, 7 August from 6pm. This year we have more prizes on offer thanks to our generous sponsors. The overall winner will receive a prize package that includes art supply vouchers, an art magazine subscription and $1000 cash.

Being a member of Estuary Arts Centre is easy and affordable and opens up the doors to so many creative opportunities. Family membership is just $50 and as part of your membership you get great discounts on classes run at the centre. There are a range of weekly art classes, after school art extension programmes and weekend workshops on offer, and members receive discounted rates on all of these. Each school holiday art programme runs for two weeks and has a different theme each term.
