PictureFederation Bouquet by Janice Orchard contains the floral emblems of all Australian states and territories and celebrates the reopening of borders. Janice painted the Federation Bouquet in response to being separated from family and friends during the border closures of the Covid years and it signifies the celebration of being able to gather together again with the opening of the borders. The boot is an ongoing motif for the annual KernArt exhibition.

ARTISTS of all ages and abilities are once again invited to enter the KernART Prize with a total prize pool of over $2000.
 
A not-for-profit fund raiser, KernART is raising funds for children of people with mental health issues. The proceeds of the art show will help Bass Coast Health provide local children with what they need to live a happier life supported by their peer groups, whether it is through sporting activities, arts and crafts or music.

​Now in its seventh year, KernArt is on again at the Kernot Community Hall on the Melbourne Cup weekend.

 
Open to artists of all abilities, the prize aims to bring together a community of art-loving and art-starting people from across Bass Coast, South Gippsland and beyond.

Over the seven years an amazing array of art has been submitted by experienced and respected artists vying for the three top prizes.
 
Beginning and emerging artists are encouraged to enter a novice section. There are also two sections for children’s art, junior and senior, which have produced some budding artists over the years.
 
Entries can be made online at www.kernartprize.com. All mediums are encouraged, including paintings, original prints, sculpture and photography. Entries close on Friday October 21. See our website for entry details and conditions.
 
There will be a “dress to impress” grand opening on Friday October 28 from 7-9pm. Food and drink supplied. Entry is $20 per person with free entry to exhibiting artists.
 
The art show is open to the public for a gold coin donation on Saturday-Sunday October 29 and 30, 10am-3pm at the Kernot Community Hall, 1060 Loch-Kernot Rd, Kernot.  Inquiries phone secretary Janice Orchard on 0419 301 363
