Local artists on display at ArtXtra! Lane Cove Art Society members will be showcasing the best of local art this month with its ArtXtra! exhibition.
T
here was no show in 2020, but artists were working away in their studios and homes, and now have a wealth of art to choose from, in a variety of styles from traditional to contemporary and in all mediums. ArtXtra! will be held at the spacious Gallery Lane Cove, 164 Longueville Rd, with the opening night on Friday April 9 at 6pm. Ian Longbottom, Patron of the Art Society, will officially open the exhibition and the evening is a great opportunity to meet and talk to the artists. Admission by gold coin. The exhibition is then open free from Saturday April 10 to Saturday April 24. The winners of the best works will be announced on the opening night. The main prizes will be awarded to the two most outstanding works in the exhibition – these are the Lloyd Rees Prize ($1,500) and the Guy Warren Prize ($1,200). In addition there will be the Joyce Mills Bequest prize for oils or acrylics and prizes for watercolours, mixed media, pastels & drawings & prints, and the Art Scene prize for small works, sponsored by The Art Scene, Ryde.
