Art fair to be held at Pearl Beach

The Pearl Beach Art Fair will be held over the October long weekend.

Celebrating its 12th anniversary, the fair's opening will be held from 6pm on Friday, September 29.

It will run from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, September 30, and 10am to 3pm on Sunday, October 1.

The fair will include hand-crafted items for sale including art, ceramics, jewellery, hand crafts, cards, and prints.

Refreshments will be available.

The Pearl Beach Craft Group spokesperson Ms Bev Lapacek said: "Multiple Sclerosis Research will benefit with proceeds from our art fair raffle.

"Decades of research into multiple sclerosis and the basic workings of the immune and nervous systems have built a critical platform of knowledge now serving as a springboard for progress."

Ms Lapacek said: "A beautiful painting by Madeline Anderson, a local Indigenous artist of some renown, will be raffled and the winner announced on the Sunday.

"The painting, titled Flood Plains on the Moyal River, Northern Territory, tells the most beautiful story in vibrant colours," Ms Lapacek said.

Pearl Beach Memorial Hall is the venue.

Entry is free.
