The Red Dust and Paddy Melons
Community Gallery
is a terrific canvas for show casing local and regional talent and
harnessing the talent of the future. This is achieved by holding
workshops for adults and children on a regular basis and exhibiting
local art and craft. Peoples work is for sale by commission.
It is a non-profit organisation run by Hillston Creative Arts
Council members on a voluntary roster. All monies raised though
workshops and commission on sales goes toward the running costs of
the gallery and to help fund more workshops.
The gallery was originally
initiated due to a lack of art teachers in our schools, and there
was a huge demand for children wanting to learn different arts.
Two murals have been
painted, one is situated on the local IGA store which was painted by
seven art council members and the other is on a stage wall at the
Merriwagga hall, painted by Joan Vagg and Catherine Byrne. All the
funds generated from the works have helped out in the running of
this wonderful community project.
