This is a double exhibition, with CHCAG members sharing works in an array of media including watercolour, acrylics, mixed media, pastel, and more; and Coffs Calligraphers celebrating ten years at the Showground Gallery, under the auspices of the CHCAG. Coffs Calligraphers was formed in 1986 to foster and promote the art of calligraphy within the local area and its surrounds. They meet on the second Saturday of each month for the study, practice and teaching of a variety of calligraphic styles in a friendly, supportive, and social atmosphere. President Nerise Windsor said, “Calligraphy, as taught and practised by the Coffs Calligraphers, is much more than putting pen to paper; it’s writing on leaves, rocks, umbrellas, clothing, and bodies, as well as making books and papers.” What a Wonderful World is on display until Wednesday July 6. The Gallery is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 2pm, with free entry. All artworks are for sale. “This is your chance to secure a unique, local, and original work of art,” said Isabella. There is also a People’s Choice award, announced at the end of the exhibition. “So, remember to vote for your favourite artwork…winning a People’s Choice is a wonderful validation of the appeal of an artist’s work.” For more information on classes, workshops, or special interest groups (porcelain painting, calligraphy, and printmaking), check out the Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group’s website, Facebook page, or email CHCAG@icloud.com or phone 0428 491 862.
