Local artists unite

A festive exhibition is showcasing many local artists’ works in the lead up to Christmas.

The Buttlejorrk Artists Collective Pre-Christmas Exhibition is displaying colour, craftsmanship and creativity in their annual group exhibition.

In its 49th year, the show brings together a vibrant mix of painting, sculpture, pottery, jewellery, textiles, woodwork and more, all made by local artists in the Macedon Ranges.

This year, the exhibition also welcomes guests from the Macedon Ranges Potters.

Pieces are also for sale, with the collective saying it’s a great opportunity to find some special Christmas gifts and support local Macedon Ranges’ artists.

Featured artists from the collective include Brandy Monteith, David Bowden, Deidre Chestney, Denise Martin, Fiona Webb, Jan Guest, Marg Altmann, Mim Osmelak, Pam Jackson, Pat Beasley, Samantha Gardiner, Tim Meager and guests from the Macedon Ranges Potters.

The Buttlejorrk Artists Collective Pre-Christmas Exhibition is on until Wednesday 24 December at The Old Auction House, 52-56 Mollison Street, Kyneton. The Old Auction House is open every day from 10am to 4pm.

The exhibition is free to enter, with the display held in the main gallery space.
