October 15th, 2022Lots of support for Daylesford Art Show

EACH year literally hundreds of community events take place across our regions. From small community events to large-scale productions (think Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival and our own ChillOut).
While they are all unique and take up an enormous amount of community volunteer effort, they are also all dependent on one big factor – the support of local businesses.
The annual Daylesford Art Show is no exception. Local business and individual sponsorships are what allows the Rotary Club of Daylesford to host the event annually.
This year the support of Community Bank Daylesford District will not only see a
dynamic and entertaining opening night (more info down the track but let’s just say
a certain realtor with a gift of the gab will join forces with an inspiring local artist)
but the banks’ support and financial contributions will allow the local artists to once
again highlight their incredible talents.
The opening night also doubles as the Community Bank Daylesford District
Awards Night where winners are announced and our artists get to shine. Live music,
entertainment and an auction featuring original paintings by Brian Nash and David
Bromley will feature at the opening, where everyone is welcome, but get in early to
secure tickets.
Blooms The Chemist continues to showcase last year’s artwork in the pharmacy
thanks to a supportive team led by pharmacist Andrew Wryley, who is a generous
supporter of local art. Blooms is sponsoring Best in Show with a generous $2000 first
prize.
The Biggin & Scott Daylesford crew is sponsoring the youth prize of $750 and
Matt Layfield and his crew at Daylesford Meat Company are sponsoring the third
prize worth $1000. The committee would love to hear from anyone keen to sponsor
the second prize, valued at $1500.
The Daylesford Art Show, being held from October 27 to November 1 at the
Daylesford Town Hall, is thanks to the support of a small but committed local Rotary
Club and made possible due to continued support from an engaged and supportive
business community.
Youth Category update: we hear our budding youth artists needed a little more
time so the closing date has been extended to Wednesday, October 12.
