What an amazing 128th Annual Exhibition it has been. Over 300 works of art from over 100 artists. Bravo.
The committee would like to start by thanking the City of South Perth, Aidan from Globevista (our major sponsor), and our wonderful sponsors Yu Zhao from ACE, Michael Boercamp from Jacksons, and Duncan Brown from White Frames. Without your generosity, this event would not have been possible.
