Uniting Place community art exhibition
Gary MAAS (Narre Warren South) (10:10): I recently had the pleasure of representing the Minister for Carers and Volunteers at the opening of the Hampton Park Uniting Place annual art exhibition. The exhibition showcased and celebrated the creativity of local artists, with over 100 pieces of art being exhibited. The event is run by volunteers, who put their valuable time into supporting our local community artists, but it is also used as a form of outreach, with art as a connection into our community. Many in attendance enjoyed the different artworks, the food and the live music from local performers. It has been an annual event supporting artists so that they can showcase their work, but all proceeds are used to further support the more needy in our community. Thanks to Lyn McBain and the arts committee at the church for a very well organised and well attended event.
