It was all action stations at Castlemaine Town Hall last Sunday as artists delivered their artworks for the 37th Rotary Castlemaine Art Show.
The show was officially opened last night with a Gala Opening event to announce the 2026 award winners.
The crowd enjoying entertainment by The Blackbird Echo, a central-west Victorian duo combining jazz, soul, country and blues influences.
With an incredible 510 works from 166 artists from across Victoria and beyond in a wide array of mediums, there’s sure to be something for all tastes.
Art Show curator Catherine Tait designs the show through the week with a fantastic team of volunteer helpers.
“Once again, we have a wonderful display of artistic talents. The diversity and range of work from beginners to experienced artists amazes me. It’s a wonderful opportunity to support Rotary Castlemaine,” Catherine said
The Art Show is open to the public from 10am daily, Friday through Monday, across the King’s Birthday long weekend June 5-8. Adult entry to the show is $8.
The Rotary Castlemaine Art Show Raffle this year features a limited edition print of a Peter Kingston watercolour. Tickets, $2, available at the door.
