Local artists are gearing up for the 32nd Annual Craigieburn Art Show.
Happening across the first weekend in March the show brings works from the community to the community.
Exhibitor Mary Stephens said she has exhibited in the show for nearly ten years and has enjoyed witnessing the growth of the show over the last decade.
“It’s so encouraging to see people who have never painted before become exceptional painters,” she said.
“We’re getting younger people who are bringing more modern art which is so good for us to experience.
“We are also seeing other people from ethnic backgrounds getting involved and they are bringing their art from their culture.”
Stephens said she is looking forward to once again seeing both her work and her fellow artists work on display at the show in March.
“Art has always been a passion of mine… it makes life more meaningful,” she said.
“In the moment of painting all the stress goes away.
“When you’re passionate about something, it’s great to be able to do it.”
The show is taking place between March 3 – 5 at the Hume Global Learning Centre. Opening Night will include an address from Hume’s mayor Joseph Haweil at 7pm.
