This annual art exhibition showcasing the best work of local artists in a range of genres in the cosy confines of Ballandean's old packing shed has become a regular outing on local calendars to check out the latest offerings. Everyone's invited along to grand opening drinks, nibbles, good company and great art at 7pm this Friday, May 3.

The pop-up gallery will then be open all day (and well into the night) from 9am on Saturday and Sunday and from 9am until 4pm on Monday, so drop in to the Ballandean Case and Timber Mill on Curr Road for a warm welcome.
New to the Mill this year is Liz Powell, a mixed media artist using etching, handmade paper, drawing and stitch. Liz works and exhibits extensively around Australia and overseas.
Organisers rather poetically promise new bodies of work from Mill favourites including brilliant batik (mostly on paper) by Sue Jurd, wondrous things of glass and wood by Michael Pieper, practical pieces by the potentate of pottery Albert Verschuuren, salient sculptures by Maggie Brockie, gorgeous glass from Aaron Micallef, the latest collection in clay from Alba Conti and probing pieces in paint, pencil or pastel by Margaret Oban Dowe, Emily Coelli, Raylee Delaney, Linda Nye and Graeme Schreiber.
All this treasure will be located in the Aladdin's cave of rustic memorabilia and historic echoes that is Pedro Curr's case and timber mill. There's even an opportunity to give the whistle a toot on the mill's old steam engine.
