Alice hosts her first Art in the Garden for the year
The community can attend these events if they want to acquire artwork from new, emerging artists, learn more about art, or just enjoy exploring new places and activities.
Alice Art Gallery hosted its first Art in the Garden event for the year on Saturday, April 22.
The first of many, this event allows local artists to showcase their artwork and, if they are lucky, get chosen as one of the Art in the Garden winners – whose art gets to move into the Alice Art Gallery.
