The 2026 Easter Art Show will be officially opened at the Sandy Point Community Centre on Friday 3 April and will be open to the public from Saturday, 4 April until Monday, 6 April from 10am to 4pm.
The brainchild of Sandy Point identities Marj and Don Head, who even camped outside the hall to act as security guards, the inaugural show opened its doors in the original T.P. Taylor Hall at Easter 2003. Since then, the much-loved Art Show has attracted artists’ contributions from all over South Gippsland and beyond with more than 3,000 artworks showcased during the past 20 years.
The Art Show now offers prizes in many categories. Works in Oil, Acrylic, Watercolour, Mixed Media, Photography Drawing – Pastel, Pencil & Ink, Sculpture -3D including Ceramics and Mosaics are invited. There is also a Junior Artists’ section and prize money for Best in Show and the Joyce Crawford People’s Choice award. Winning entries are decided by an independent panel of qualified judges. All sponsorship contributions are allocated as prize money.
