The Goulburn Options’ GO Art studio, home to a wealth of inspiring and colourful pieces, has extended its reach to Strathbogie Shire Council’s monthly exhibit.

Scheduled for display at Jubilee Park in Avenel until Monday, September 29, the vibrant collection of works is sourced from some of the over 30 artists within the GO Art program.

The unique exhibition is available for viewing 24 hours a day through the gallery’s glass-fronted display in an attempt to make art accessible to all, any time.

Exhibiting artists include Kath Sidebottom, David Tankey, Robbie Wales, Samantha Whitehurst, Leonie Nunn, Gemma Renfrey, Tahlia Butcher and Lukas Di Pietrantonio — each bringing their own distinct perspective and creative voice to the exhibition.

As a leading service provider in the Goulburn Valley region, having supported people with disability and their carers since 1981, Goulburn Options is deeply embedded in the Seymour community, employing many local staff and fostering strong, valuable connections across the region.

The GO Art program offers participants opportunities to explore various mediums and techniques, build professional profiles and connect with the broader arts community.

Strathbogie Shire Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy welcomed the exhibition.

“This exhibition is a celebration of creativity, inclusion and talent,” Cr Ewart-Kennedy said.

“The GO Art artists are an inspiration to us all, and we are proud to support their work in such a visible and accessible way.

“Artbox Gallery is the perfect space to showcase their talent and remind us of the power of art to connect and uplift.”
