May 20th, 2026Castlemaine Art Show

Award-winning Castlemaine artist Rob McHaffie will be the featured artist when the 37th Annual Rotary Castlemaine Art Show opens at Castlemaine Town Hall for King’s Birthday weekend, June 5-8.

“Castlemaine Rotary is delighted to have an artist of the stature and accomplishments of Rob McHaffie as our featured artist for our 37th Art Show,” Rotary Art Show chair Robert Cordy said.
Mr McHaffie moved to Castlemaine in 2019, attracted by the relaxed lifestyle and the vibrant arts community of the district. Working across a range of mediums, including drawing, painting and sculpture, and informed by a keen observation of his everyday surroundings, his work is an eclectic mix of colour, whimsy and humour and is held in major public and private collections.
“Thirty-seven annual art shows is a record Rotary Castlemaine is rightly proud of and we look forward to showcasing artists from around the local district, the wider state and interstate,” Mr Cordy said.
The show will be judged by La Trobe University Bendigo Visual Arts Centre’s Paul Northam. Artist entries are open until May 18.
