Macksville Show 2022

 

Art At The Macksville Show

The art exhibition was once again a feature of the Macksville Show. Many artists from across the valley exhibited their work with 90 paintings on display. A continuous stream of visitors over the two days called into the Showground Gallery to admire the work.

 The paintings were hung on the Wednesday prior to the show giving the “Secret” judge plenty of time to determine the merits of the works and to select the winners.

There was a large range of subject matter across the four categories of Open, Flora and Fauna, Landscape/Seascape and Miniatures. The Bowraville Racecourse Group excelled this year by collecting 1^st and 2^nd in all but the Landscape/Seascape section. In addition to the official judging there was a “People’s Choice” and 979 people voted with the majority winner being Alison Tupper’s painting called “Yarriabini Walk”. Congratulations to all the winners.

Champion painting was from Elwin Butler and called “Underground Insects”
