JADA and Sketchy – Official Openings

Join local botanical and life drawing artists in a celebration of all things ‘drawing’.

Two exhibitions will be officially opened at this event including the ‘JADA’ (Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award) and ‘Sketchy’.
Established in 1988 the Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award (JADA) celebrates drawing in all its splendour from hyper-realism that is beyond belief to the expressive and abstract, evoking the poetic and emotional response to the human condition and our environment. Many of the works question and challenge the notion of the traditional drawing; while others provide a contemporary perspective and reinvigorate those traditions. On show from 3 December 2021 until 22 January 2022.

‘Sketchy’ showcases the Gympie Regional Gallery Life Drawing and Botanical Art Groups work. On show from 9 December until 15 January 2022.
