Artists take up the challenge

The members of Borderline Regional Art Association Inc have taken up the challenge and embraced the fascinating  theme ‘State of Flux’  for their next exhibition, which officially opens at the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery at 6pm on Friday night, August 26.
Coordinated by Margaret Oban Dowe, Sue Jurd and Maggie Brockie, in consultation with the Borderline committee and Penelope Gillam, director of Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery, the exhibition has been 18 months in the planning.
About 35 artists from the border regions of Queensland and NSW will showcase their talents with a diverse range of artworks using all manner of techniques and materials.
Mediums used in 2aD works will include acrylics, water colours, oils, mixed media and textiles, and in 3D works will include clay, wood and glass.
Works by well known, award-winning, regional artists will hang alongside the works of talented new members.
The viewer will be excited by the many mediums and strands of interpretation of ‘State of Flux’ and is invited to explore their own response to their innermost feelings about a world of accelerating change.
The exhibition runs until October 2.
