The Mornington Art Show
The Mornington Rotary Club's major annual fundraiser is our Mornington Art Show. It is held in the week leading into Australia Day at the Peninsula Community Theatre on the corner of Wilsons Road and Nepean Highway.
It is a much-anticipated community event and after a wonderful Gala Opening Night the public can view the beautiful artworks from artists all over the Peninsula. The next show will be our 54th!
With over 700 pieces on display, its success is thanks to all our artists, our sponsors, the volunteers who make it happen, and our visitors.
We believe that it is the second largest Art Show in the State and the largest on the Mornington Peninsula.
Funds raised enables our Club to undertake our community projects and to support those members of the community in need.
For more information about the Art Show please visit www.morningtonartshow.com.au and follow it on Facebook at facebook.com/morningtonartshow.
