President Jillian Ronald said since opening on Friday 23 September, a good crowd had come through the doors.
“Everyone said they loved it,” she said.
“People said it’s quite different from other shows we’ve had.”

About 90 artists, including many new artists, have exhibiting about 270 works in the exhibition, showcasing trends like sculpture, flow art, resin and mixed media.
