It was a thrilling celebration to mark Queenscliff Gallery’s (QG) 10th anniversary.
Coming together with the QG Directors, Soula & Theo Mantalvanos, were artists and vibrant art enthusiasts who have helped the gallery prosper through its first decade.
It is with special thanks to the artists who have exhibited at QG in the past and present that we can celebrate this occasion.
Additionally, we extend our gratitude to Barry Iddles for the delicious catering and his support over the years with sponsorship of all the QG special events, and also to Oakdene Wines.
Scroll further to view images and YouTube videos of the celebration and the demonstrations by Trudy Rice and Anita Iacovella held during the celebratory weekend.
To further mark this special occasion, the very equipment at the centre of QG’s love for printmaking has returned to its place of glory – centre stage in the gallery, beckoning curiosity in the age of AI.
It’s going to be an exciting next 10 years…
