Our 54th Mornington Art Show was a great success with record sales of 21%.
We also had daily attendance well above expectations. Thank you to our artists, old and new, for supporting our show and our team of hard working volunteers.
Our two Feature Artists Nina Volk and Billy Nye were very well received with good sales for both. Our Artisans Manuela Ferstl and Mitch Colbert both added to the atmosphere of a great Art Show.
Our generous local business sponsors are an integral part of the overall success of the Art Show.
