It includes portraits of local artists, past mayors, and school children from the region. It is a time capsule of the community. It connects the past and the present together by inviting community members who took part in this creative project, to view and celebrate the rediscovery of these portraits. An eclectic range of mediums, techniques, and skill levels are on display from the multi-generational artists represented in this show. It beautifully reflects the diversity of creativity that can be found in the community. This exhibition forms part of the Australian Heritage Festival, with the 2024 theme being “Connections”.
