Artists’ Challenge - Cats, Copper and Car Parts

The famous annual challenge in which local artists rise to the lure of themes. This year it’s the moggies, the sheen of copper and the endless possibilities of car parts. What will they come up with this time - will it drive to Bluff or curl up on the bed?

Come and see what results from the intersection of these and the talents of the artists. Always an interesting show.
