Urunga celebrates fine art with its inaugural ‘Art Urunga’ exhibition and sale
The Urunga Mylestom Chamber of Commerce is kicking off the New Year with a unique artistic approach; it has invited seven visiting artists who have studied and shown in Italy and France and who regularly paint together, to exhibit alongside eight of its very own professional artists from Urunga, Mylestom and Raleigh on the 14th of January 2012.
The exhibition kicks off with a cocktail function open to art enthusiasts, locals and visitors on Saturday the 14th of January at the Literary Institute Hall in Bowra St, complete with string trio, complimentary drinks and canapés.
The Urunga Men’s shed have been engaged to build the partitions which will display the art works.
Visiting artists include: Jakki Boucaut, Margi Duncan, Lee Dear, Max Jessop, Lance Boucaut, Sue Beacroft and Pamela Victoria-Thyssen. According to one of the artists, Jakki Boucaut, “We had been coming to Camp Creative in Bellingen for many years, always staying in Urunga. Last year we felt the cool ocean breezes in the heat of summer at Urunga were conducive to our creativity and we decided as a group to not only stay in Urunga but paint here also” commented Jakki Boucaut. Lorraine Gordon of the Urunga Mylestom Chamber of Commerce after enthusiastically viewing our work at the CWA rooms, flagged the concept of holding an exhibition at the end of our two week stay, of which we jumped at the opportunity” said Ms Boucaut. “We are very much looking forward to this valuable time in Urunga and the opportunity to display and sell our works.”
Other local artists who have been asked to exhibit include: Bronwyn Rodden from Valla Beach, Caroline Sharkey of Urunga, Gail Cardow of Newry Island, Judy Bailey of Raleigh, Ruth Gollan of Mylestom, Phillip Pomroy of Urunga. Photographers - Dale Neaves, Ruth Fahey and William Holden of Urunga.
