Randwick Art Society will be holding this year’s annual exhibition from Friday, May 5, to Sunday, May 7, at Little Bay’s Prince Henry Centre. Art lovers are invitied to come and marvel at the talents of local artists and hopefully consider purchasing a work or two.

More than 300 paintings will be on display this year. The exhibition is also showcasing the work of local photographers and craft makers.

The Beast had the pleasure of catching up with organisers and participants at the Randwick Literary Institute where the group meets every Monday morning and has a permanent gallery. Some were brandishing brushes and palettes as they put the finishing touches on their paintings. Many of the works depict beach and ocean scenes, like Sunrise Surfer by Ann Cahill, who will be next month’s featured artist in The Beast. There are also portraits, still life pictures and a number of surrealist works.

The exhibition runs from 10am to 8pm on the Friday, then 10am until 4pm on the Saturday and Sunday. As you soak up the visual feast, you’ll be serenaded by local guitarist John Kapodistrias and a ukulele group.
