CELEBRATING THE 10TH EXHIBITION - 2018 Yorke Peninsula Art Exhibition OUR THANKS TO... PLATINUM / MAJOR PARTNER MAJOR PARTNERS DIAMOND PARTNER GOLD PARTNERS GOVERNMENT PARTNER SILVER PARTNERS Stansbury Progress Association BRONZE PARTNERS IN KIND PARTNERS ADVERTISING PARTNER PRINT PARTNER COMMUNITY PARTNER Steven Griffith Mayor Ray and Mayoress Claudia Agnew Rowan Ramsey MP Mayor’s Welcome It is my pleasure to once again welcome you all to the Yorke Peninsula (YP) Art Exhibition and I am honoured to be able to share this special event with the community and visitors to our beautiful region. The YP Art Exhibition is celebrating its 10th Exhibition having held the first event in 1999, which then turned into a biennial event from 2002. This year is a time of reflection, when we recognise past contributing Working Party Members including the late Councillor Verna Lock, who was a founding member and driving force behind the establishment of the Exhibition. Verna coordinated the first two Exhibitions and her memory has continued on with the Verna Lock Memorial Award which is awarded to a Yorke Peninsula subject created by a Yorke Peninsula Artist. This Exhibition would also not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors listed on the inside cover of this catalogue. I sincerely thank them for their sense of community and support of this major cultural event. Without their continued sponsorship the Exhibition would not have grown and continued to thrive. I hope you will all join me in congratulating everyone associated with the Exhibition for organising such an enjoyable event. Mayor Ray Agnew OAM JP Yorke Peninsula Council 2018 YORKE PENINSULA ART EXHIBITION 1 Chairperson’s Welcome The 2018 Yorke Peninsula (YP) Art Exhibition Working Party is very proud to present this amazing programme which will be held at three venues through- out the beautiful Yorke Peninsula over the Easter break. As the Chairperson of the Working Party, I am proud to be associated with such a dedicated group of volunteers. To past and present members, without their support and commitment, our Exhibition wouldn’t exist and be the amazing event it is today. This year we have expanded upon the Fine Art Exhibition held at Ardrossan to include a Sculpture Exhibition held at Edithburgh and a Photography Exhibition held at Yorketown. Thank you to our judges who take on the difficult task of awarding prizes for the various categories. Congratulations to all exhibitors for producing such wonderful pieces of art and entering the Exhibition - it is really appreciated. And to all the members of the community and visitors to the region over the Easter break, we hope you will enjoy and appreciate the work of so many talented artists. Councillor Alan Headon Kalkabury Ward Chairperson YP Art Exhibition Yorke Peninsula Council 2 CELEBRATING 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY About the Exhibition The Yorke Peninsula (YP) Art Exhibition was first held in 1999 over the October long weekend and then moved to a biennial event from 2002. Previously coordinated by a Section 41 Committee of the Yorke Peninsula Council, the Exhibition is now coordinated through a Working Party to promote art within our society. Celebrating its 10th exhibition in 2018, the YP Art Exhibition will be held over the Easter break. The Working Party has expanded the 2018 exhibition to celebrate a larger variety of art mediums in addition to hosting an inaugural preview event at Ardrossan on the evening of Wednesday 28 March 2018 with the Exhibition then being officially open from Thursday 29 March until Monday 2 April 2018. The YP Art Exhibition has won two SA Great Regional Awards for Art in 2006 and 2008, an Advantage SA Award in 2010 in addition to being admitted into the Hall of Fame in 2010 for recognition “of outstanding achievements and significant contributions demonstrating excellence in regional leadership". Our Exhibition continues to grow and attracts well-known and new artists at both a state and local level in addition to contributions from local schools representing younger artists within the district. Although our major focus is art, we also strive through advertisement to attract more tourism and to promote our area as a very desirable holiday spot only two hours from Adelaide. The Working Party recognises that artists make an important contribution to Australian society, the economy and assisting to drive tourism and provide alternative ways to foster regional development. 2018 YORKE PENINSULA ART EXHIBITION 3 Fine Art ADAMSON, Hugh 1 Looking to Edithburgh—Acrylic on Canvas $900.00 Depicts a fishing boat in the bay, looking north toward the town.

The tangled mass of curling locks is an extension of the free flowing technique used. The portrayal of the subject's ' anguish' is reflected in the child's eyes and pouting lips. The addition of black charcoal and white pastel in areas of light and shade were used on the facial features to further accentuate the form. 4 CELEBRATING 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY Ardrossan ALEXANDER, Elinor 7 On a Winter Walk, South of Pt Vincent— Oil $330.00 I've always enjoyed Monet's impressions of the Normandy coast.
