The Murray Bridge Rotary Art Show returns in 2021!

This popular annual community-driven event provides an opportunity for emerging and hobbyist artists to exhibit, sell and be in the running to win a prize for their work. Prize categories include 2D, 3D, Digital Art and Photography.

The 2020 Rotary Art Show was cancelled due to pandemic restrictions. This year we have received an overwhelming response from artists with a 30% increase in entries, compared to the 2019 exhibition!

120 diverse works include landscapes, riverscapes, portraits, abstractions and still-life. Mediums span paintings, works on paper, digital, mixed media and sculptures in ceramics, glass and found materials.

This year’s prize judge is Lauren Mustillo, Visual Arts Program Manager, Country Arts SA.
