Dromkeen Gallery is providing a range of events this month, offering art and entertainment to Riddells Creek residents and beyond.
The beauty of nature is on display at the gallery, with the work of 30 Macedon Ranges artists displayed in a fundraiser exhibition towards repairs of the historic Dromkeen Homestead.
Open from 10am–5pm every day until April 27 the exhibition – titled The Wonder of Nature – depicts natural splendor through a variety of media including painting, woodwork, photography, textiles and sculpture.
A small commission from each sale will go towards restoring the building’s side decking, which has degraded over time.
On Saturday, April 26, travel sketch artist Alissa Duke will provide a nature sketching watercolour pencil class from 11am–1pm.
Attendees can bring along their own sketch pad, watercolour pencils, and brush, but a sketch kit can be bought on the day.
Then, from 7–9pm on Friday, May 2 pop legend Issy Dye will perform two sets of hits by Elvis Presley and Johnny O’Keefe in full costume.
The audience is invited to show up dressed in a rock’n’roll outfit, with a prize for the best costume of the night and door prizes for others.
Further details on pricing and booking for these events are available on the Dromkeen Gallery website.
