CONTEMPORARY art work highlighted the region’s talent at the opening of the Eden Grove Community Precinct’s first art exhibition, hosted by South West Community Care.

Harvey shire president Tania Jackson officially opened the Eden Art Exhibition on April 6, where seven artists from across the shire displayed their work, some well known and others new to the scene.

South West Community Care chief executive officer Claire Roach said it was the facility’s first exhibition and showcased local artists and artisans.

“The flavour is contemporary rather than traditional or landscapes,” she said.

“I’m really happy that we’ve got an opportunity to promote art and culture in the community, it’s wonderful to be a sponsor of that.”

The exhibition is open to the public until April 24, from 9am to 4pm in the Eden Grove Manning Function Centre.
