Attention Art Lovers: What’s On In Sydney – Newport Northern Beaches NSW. Artist Simon Barlow is staging the Newport Recreation Centre’s first major art exhibition.
Simons exhibition will feature some water scenes, paintings of Pittwater and Australian native flora.
As usual… the attendance on opening night for Simons Art Exhibition was a huge success and my first glimpse of the new Newport Recreation Centre. Also an opportunity for us to catch up with old friends who attend each of Simons exhibitions to view his latest masterpeices.
His new exhibition has had overwhelming response…..and even more exciting is when the red dots appear next to the paintings…and as the Auctioneer would say ….Sold!
Amongst the magnificant display of paintings my favourites were the magnolias, lillies and landscapes of Saltpan Bay and Careel Bay…. and the shell collection…You can choose your favourites when you visit Simons exhibition.
Where: Newport Community Centre The Boulevarde Newport NSW
When: Opening Night Friday 8th Jan 2010 @ 6pm
Saturday 9 – 17 Jan 10- 6 daily
