Artists from across the district have found success at the 2022 Leongatha Rotary Art and Photography Show.
Now in its 45th year, the show remains one of South Gippsland’s major art shows and community events with substantial, attendances, entries and sales.
This year, the People’s Choice Award was won by Karen Rosato from Moe, for her entry Tara Bulga Beauty.
Karen was a clear winner of the award out of the many hundreds of votes were submitted.
The show was a huge success for artists and the community with many visitors attending the show and visiting different areas, restaurants, cafes, shops and attractions in the area and region.
Apart from the awards, many artists works were sold at the show.
From the lots of comments made artists and visitors alike are looking froward to the next show which will be about the same time next year.
