DUBBO ART FAIR TO SHOWCASE LOCAL ARTISTS
Over 40 local artists will take over the gallery space in the Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC) for the annual Dubbo Art Fair this weekend.
The ticketed official opening will take place on Friday 27 October at 6pm with the Dubbo Art Fair open free to the community from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 October 2023.
The Dubbo Art Fair will be officially opened by guest speaker Toby Meagher, Director and Partner of Michael Reid Galleries in Sydney and Berlin, one of Australia’s most successful commercial galleries.
Mr Meagher will also be part of a public talk on Saturday 28 October discussing the art of collecting with WPCC Curator Kent Buchanan and how to establish your own collection of art.
“Now in its third year the Dubbo Art Fair is the biggest art fair this side of the Blue Mountains and showcases local established and emerging artists,” Dubbo Regional Council Exhibition and Curator Officer, Kent Buchanan said.
“The art fair provides artists with the opportunity to sell their artworks to the community and talk directly with people about their art.
“It exposes their creative skills to a new audience and even opens the prospect for future commissions.”
This year’s Dubbo Art Fair will feature a great variety of art including painting, drawing, ceramics, glass, photography and much more.
“The official opening will allow participants to be the first in line to see the amazing local talent and purchase a piece of art prior to the rest of the general public,”
“We are really looking forward to seeing the community embrace this event again this year and connect with local artists,” Mr Buchanan said.
Tickets to the official opening are available at 123tix.
The Dubbo Art Fair on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 October 2023 is free to enter.
Creo at the WPCC will be open all weekend for food and drinks. For more information visit www.westernplainsculturalcentre.org.
