ELTHAM, VIC
Australia
October 17 - 30, 2009
Masterworks In the Vineyard is a bi-ennial invitational exhibition showcasing emerging and established contemporary artists working in a diverse range of media. Over the past 20 years MASTERWORKS has achieved an increasing reputation as an exceptional visual art exhibition, a true reflection of the calibre of the artists and works represented and ELTHAM College of Education’s steadfast commitment to the arts.
Held at Swipers Gully Vineyard and Restaurant, in the glorious Victorian Yarra Valley, MASTERWORKS is not only a fundraising vehicle for ELTHAM College of Education but an important and deliberate celebration of the visual arts. The growing reputation of this exceptional bi-ennial art exhibition is a true reflection of both ELTHAM’s steadfast commitment to the arts and the caliber of the artists represented.
All monies raised contribute to “Greening ELTHAM”, a committed effort to increase environmental sustainability at ELTHAM College.
