Art evening attracts 100
More than 100 people attended the annual Bays Community Wine, Cheese and Art Evening on Saturday, July 13, at the Woy Woy Bay Community Hall.
The event, which has been running for five years, has featured the exhibition of artworks from artists across the Peninsula.
This year the three artists were Graeme Balchin, who has had a portrait accepted for the Archibald Prize exhibition, Karen Medcalf, and Ian Jones.
"The calibre of artwork on show clearly demonstrated the talented individuals we are fortunate to have living in the area," said Group secretary Ms Gwyneth Weir.
"Their artwork provided a wide variety of artistic styles for everyone to appreciate and enjoy.
While viewing the artwork, people were able to sample wines from the Rutherglen Estates Winery.
The Bays Community Group also provided a selection of cheeses, pates and other treats.
Each artist donated a piece of work which was offered for sale in the auction.
A raffle with prizes finished off the evening.
