There are some very talented artists in our community including Dru Morgan.
Dru has had an interest in art since leaving school quite some years ago.
She has also ventured into digital art and is currently working on a presentation to be exhibited at the Art Gallery early next year.
President Lea Toohey is another who is well known for her artwork, having been involved in exhibitions in Tocumwal and other areas of the local community.
However, there are many more who enjoy getting together and sharing their amazing talent and new members are always welcome.
The committee is extremely thankful for the assistance which has been extended by Berrigan Shire Council, and particularly Matt Hansen.
The building now has a fresh coat of paint and is looking very inviting.
