The Bright Art Gallery and Cultural Centre is set to launch it's 2025 Fabulous Spring Exhibition, which will include three separate sections, providing a variety of quality artworks for Bright's residents and visitors to enjoy.

The new seasonal exhibition is open to the public from Thursday, 25 September and will run until Monday, 3 November.

‘Into the Garden’ by local artist, Nette Mitchell, showcases an exciting and colourful story of 40 works in digital art and photography.

"This work is about how I see the world: this exhibition is my garden, my mind," Nette said.

“I hope to help refocus our community to the beauty which is all around us in [these] hard times.

“To stop and smell the flowers and connect with each other, ourselves and the land we stand on.

"Look at the landscape, find the flowers and understand the bugs and animals.

"My hope for the future would to eventually have my own little shop or gallery where I can sell local artists' work, but in the meantime I’ll just keep exhibiting.”

The 'People and Places’ section of the Spring display; a high-quality selection of paintings and drawings from a private collection, has been acquired over many years of ardent collecting by the Aldridge brothers of Wangaratta.

This showcase hosts 50 recent acquisitions in various mediums, including: oil, watercolour, charcoal and mixed media works, with some very well-known and prominent artists are featured.

The final section by ‘Alpine Artists’ is a diverse display of paintings, photographs and three-dimensional work by artist members of the Bright Art Gallery.

All works are for sale.

In addition, there is a well-stocked Gallery shop which has a marvellous range of gifts such as jewellery, prints, cards, ceramics and woodwork.

Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the Bright Art Gallery is open Thursday to Monday each week, from 10am to 4pm.
