With Blue Knob covered in smoke, we were still able to get this show on the road!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is our last exhibition for the year and is not themed. Because of this our artists get to bring in what they choose out of their collection or new work recently created for this exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"225\" data-id=\"1266\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0137.jpeg\" alt=\"Year 2050 by Thodore Kennett-Raj\" class=\"wp-image-1266\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Year 2050 by Thodore Kennett-Raj<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"177\" data-id=\"1267\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0136.jpeg\" alt=\"Run Fast by Margot Alexander\" class=\"wp-image-1267\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Run Fast by Margot Alexander<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"126\" data-id=\"1269\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0134.jpeg\" alt=\"Good Fortune Money Boxes\nby Cathryn Binstead\" class=\"wp-image-1269\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Good Fortune Money Boxes<br>by Cathryn Binstead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"328\" data-id=\"1270\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0133.jpeg\" alt=\"Wollumbin\nby Shirley Miller &amp; Heather Kimber\" class=\"wp-image-1270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0133.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0133-201x300.jpeg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wollumbin<br>by Shirley Miller &amp; Heather Kimber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"189\" data-id=\"1271\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0132.jpeg\" alt=\"Rebel at Heart-Earings by Amanda Doran\" class=\"wp-image-1271\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rebel at Heart-Earings by Amanda Doran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As is often the case any given exhibition can serendipitously reflect what might be happening around us at the time. Fiona Shadwell\u2019s hand painted cloth \u201cFire\u201d was left with us a month ago little knowing what was about to happen. Andrew H Daley\u2019s photographic image of Bush Smoke over the Sacred Rocks, and Theodore Kennett-Raj\u2019s \u2018Year 2050\u2019 with our mobile oxygen respirators, remind us of the craziness of our times and that art can reflect the preciousness of our resources, as in Rebekah Seriah Webster\u2019s recycled wood sculpture \u201cConversation in Perspective\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a gallery full of diverse and colourful work, with felted wall hangings from Year 7\/8 students at Rainbow Ridge Steiner School, and some artworks generously donated to the gallery by Joline Shervey as a fundraiser for the hall. There is artwork here that celebrates what we have to be grateful for and that also reminds us that so many things are held in the balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"340\" height=\"205\" data-id=\"1268\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0135.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0135.jpeg 340w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0135-300x181.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Year 7-8 Rainbow Ridge Steiner School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibition runs through to Sat Feb 1st 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Artist\u2019s Choice&nbsp;opened on Fri 22nd November with a good turn out, with Vocal Minority Choir singing on the night.
