Proceeds

The proceeds of the Show will support the charitable and community activities of the Rotary Club of Irymple. Since its inception in 1972 the Club has supported:

  • local events, institutions and causes,
  • Australian efforts such as our Fire Relief Project as well as
  • International efforts such as the worldwide fight against Polio.

We intend that the Art Show be profitable so that it can play a part in helping these efforts.

Judges

The judges are yet to be appointed and we will post their names on the Club’s website as soon as they are available.

Cost of Entry

The fee is $20 per entry.

Artists are asked to submit two postcard-sized photos of each finished work, one showing the whole work and the other showing some detail.

Successful entries will be invited to provide the actual work for hanging in the Show.

Size

The length of any side should not exceed 75cm, including the framing. Works will be checked on delivery and oversize works cannot be hung.
