Murtoa artist and Horsham East Rotary Art Fair exhibitor Peter Hill has lauded the creative control and community involvement the event provides a burgeoning Wimmera art community.
Hill will showcase a variety of oil-on-canvas work at Horsham Town Hall this week for the fair’s 44th edition, including several landscapes, aviation-themed paintings and still-life work.
He said artists benefited from the event committee’s inclination to allow artists to exercise creative control over individual displays.
“Many art fairs ask for an entry fee per work, however in Horsham artists can submit as many pieces as they want, depending on size, for the price of a single-entry fee. The committee also gave artists the freedom to hang all their own work in a defined space within the hall,” he said.
