Just a quick reminder that if you’re anywhere near Mt Barker in the next couple of days, you should drop into the community art gallery at Mitchell House and take a look at the 9 by 5 Exhibition.

There are 100 2D and 3D works on display from a raft of local artists and all pieces are available to buy via a pencil auction. The quality and variety of work is astonishing and presents a visual feast when you enter the gallery. Even if you don’t make a bid, I think it’s worth a look.

To make a bid, you just find the painting number in the bidding book, check the current bid and enter a higher offer. The minimum bid on any one item is $25, which is a bargain price for any of the paintings or sculptures on display.

Bidding ends on Saturday so time is running out.

Here’s my entry and it is only available at this exhibition.

Mitchell House is located in Mt Barker, on Albany Highway, opposite the old railway station building. It’s a pink building on the corner of Ormond Road. You can’t miss it.
