On the evening of Friday, 15 November, an abundance of imagination and creativity flooded the walls, halls, and floors of the Proserpine Museum with the exquisite talents of both novice and professional artists showcased for the community to enjoy.
A spectacular grand opening, the evening staged the debut of the 2024 Accomplished and Emerging Artists Exhibition to celebrate and commend the talents of the Whitsunday region. Councillor John Collins led the official proceedings and opened the event where he was gratefully gifted a wonderful piece of artwork painted especially for him by Dawn Pearce - the driving force responsible for making the exceptional evening possible.
“Each piece on display is a testament to the passion and vision of the artists who’ve poured their hearts into their work and some of them are seasoned artists, while others are just starting out – which they should be very proud of,” shared Cr John Collins.
The 2024 exhibition has been described as a magical mix of mediums with fabric art, painted pieces, basket weaving, jewellery, woodwork, and photography included in the showcase. Across each individual piece, the passion and talents of every artist comes alive, especially in the case of emerging artists where audiences can see a wonderful display of promise.
Dawn Pearce holds a world of teaching experience extending over three decades where she has provided countless artists with the amazing opportunity to exhibit their talents for others to see. An accomplished art teacher, her passion for sharing other people’s talents draws from her love for seeing art flourish, whilst proudly showing onlookers the potential of artists within her community.
The Proserpine Museum warmly welcomes the community to visit the showcase for themselves and witness the magical talents of their neighbours. The beautiful exhibition will be on display until Tuesday 17 December, and with so much to admire, its well worth to visit more than once.
