Last Saturday marked the start of a new exhibition for art lovers at the Bright Art Gallery and Cultural Centre: 'WEIGHT' curated by Daniel A'Vard.
Located in the gallery's upstairs space, Mr A'Vard created the show in the hope "to draw together contemporary artists practicing in the local region and to enliven the gallery with innovative new works".
"Saturday's opening for the new exhibition 'Weight' went really well and we had a great night," one of the exhibition's local artists, Sue Ronco said.
"I think our region needs a dynamic and inclusive vision for the arts.
"We have so many talented people in the area whose work should be reaching a wider audience.

"As practicing artists, we need to engage proactively with businesses, local government and other community groups to activate visual culture in our region.
"I hope 'Weight' will be the beginning of a series of art-focused events that will ensure local contemporary art will have a greater presence and more recognition in our community."
The Bright Art Gallery and Cultural Centre is open daily from 10am to 4pm, with 'WEIGHT' and 'Winter Exhibition' available to view until Sunday, 20 July.
