This year, Killara House will come alive with creative works of all kinds at the annual Lions Art Show.

For a fourth year running, the Cobram Lions Club is holding its popular show.

Cobram Lions Club past president Janet Austin said the art show opened up a whole new world to budding young artists.

“The first art show was put on to give them a forum to show their artwork,” Mrs Austin said.

Some works entered in the past, like that of Cobram Anglican Grammar School junior student Angelina McKay, have gone on to travel the world and be showcased on the national and international stage.

“The last three have gone to national, the last two years have gone to international; they’ve actually gone to America,” Mrs Austin said.

As in other years, the art show, to be held at Killara House on the weekend of August 16 and 17, will have two age categories: 10 to 14 years and open 15-plus.

An age cut-off of 15 to 110 years of age in the general section — which accepts works of any subject or medium in static art up to A2 size — means almost everyone can submit their works.

Students from Cobram-Barooga aged 11 to 13 years as of November 15 this year are eligible to enter the esteemed International Peace Poster Competition.

Entries and visits to the exhibition of works are free. All works must be submitted by the due date of August 8.
