We are pleased that the Art Show in November is part of this exciting program. On Saturday and Sunday, 9 & 10th November, the bustling Birregurra Markets will be held in the park opposite the Art Show venue. Find out more at www.meetmeinbirre.com

Winners will be announced during the Opening Night Gala and those artists will be notified by telephone. There will also be a selection of “Highly Commended” artworks and a "People’s Choice" award.
