Be inspired by the incredible creativity and talent from local artists of all backgrounds
The Amelia's first open submission exhibition proudly showcases 396 artworks from a diverse range of local talent, including established artists, emerging talents, graduates, amateurs, and first-timers from across our region.
Our goal is to provide a platform for local artists to display their work and to inspire our visitors with the incredible creativity within our community. We believe in accessible participation, so there was no judging panel for entry. Instead, we are inviting the public to engage with the artworks and vote for a People’s Choice Award. The winner of this award will receive a voucher to support their creative practice.
We hope you will be inspired by the artworks on display. We've also created a dedicated space in the exhibition for you to create your own artwork.
This exhibition not only highlights the rich artistic talent in our region but also fosters a sense of community and appreciation for the arts. Come and be inspired by the wealth of skill, ideas, and creativity that exists right on your doorstep!
