A new exhibition is coming to the Lot19 art space from this Saturday June 27.
The exhibition is titled JOY and will bring you just that.
This installation is designed to bring light, happiness and colour into the darkness of winter and the world right now, and help us appreciate the joy we have.
JOY has been curated by Suzanne Donisthorpe.
Suzanne said that she brought the exhibition together “to celebrate all things joyful” and bright but also to create “an antidote to the endless horror of this sick sad world”.
The exhibition features art works by six local artists, Roz Avent, Bill Sampson, Leslie Thornton, Tracey Naughton, Paloma White and Jody Galvin and a light installation by Melbourne artist Reuben Cumming.
JOY features many different art forms all filled with colour, including sculptures of wire, natural materials and light, beautifully sewn textile works and many colourful paintings.
Each artwork is filled with beauty of its own kind and they all represent the theme of joy in their own different ways.
The opening will be on Saturday June 27, there will be drinks starting at 4pm and a wonderful performance by Kavisha Mazzella and the Bhaktiheart Choir for everyone to enjoy.
There will also be an artist talk on Sunday July 5 at 2pm. All are welcome.
The exhibition runs over two weekends, June 27-28 and July 4-5. You can find Lot 19 at 19 McShanag St, Castlemaine.
JOY will be the perfect thing to pick you up if the coldness of winter is getting to you or if you just want to enjoy some art and colour, so please, come along.
