Former Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington will officially open the Noosa Arts and Crafts’ (NSACA) latest exhibition Eco Art on Friday 5 August at 6pm.
NSACA invited local Year 6 students to design a poster for the eco-themed exhibition. Entries were slow to begin with but by the closing date the gallery was full.
The judges had a tough time deciding on a winner as the entries were varied and so creative. Noosa students have really got the message about climate change and the need to change community thinking.
The winner was Amber Abele, a student of Pomona State School and the runner-up was Lucy Pritchard, a home-schooled student.
All the entries are displayed in Wallace House’s Hovea room and can be viewed weekdays from 9am to 3pm.
While the changing environment is an urgent concern, the natural world has long been an inspiration for artists. Contributing members have been invited to reflect on and communicate their environmental interests, perceptions and ideas.
The exhibition will include all genre of artworks from ceramics to watercolour.
After the official opening on Friday 5 August, the Eco Art Exhibition will be open at Wallace House, 1 Wallace Drive, Noosaville on Saturday 6 August and Sunday 7 August from 9am to 3pm, and then weekdays from 9am to 3pm until 26 August.
