The perfect day out

13th & 14th October 2018.

High on a cliff overlooking a spectacular coastline, the Scarborough Art Show has become a cultural beacon of the Illawarra, attracting visitors and exhibitors from the region and across the state.

Now in its 20th year, the annual show has developed a reputation for its quality, its breadth and its affordability. Painters, printmakers, photographers and sculptors join with jewellers, ceramicists and craftspeople from Sydney to the Southern Highlands to create a vibrant exhibition, with something for everyone.

An hour’s drive south of Sydney through the Royal National Park and across the scenic Seacliff Bridge, visitors can enjoy a coffee, food, live music and kids' entertainment, and come away with an affordable piece of art.

When:
Saturday 13th October 2018 10am-4pm

Exciting things are happening at the little school on the coast...

In 2011 we launched Artspark, a competition for young artists. The aim of the competition is to encourage and develop artistic abilities in children of our community, and give them an opportunity to showcase their work amongst their art peers. The competition this year is for children that attend public schools in the Illawarra region, in either infants or primary levels.

The theme for the competition in 2017 is 'Sustainability'.

An entry form can be downloaded from here - Entry Form

The children's work is put into one of 3 categories either K-2nd class, 3rd & 4th class or 5th & 6th class. The artwork is then given a number and then judged by professional artists on the merit of the artwork alone. The judges do not know the names of the children or which school they are from. That way a true & fair decision is made.

The 2016 competition was once again supported by Beach Art in Bulli. Beach Art was the sponsor of the event since its inception in 2011. Sadly Rose Marshall from Beach Art passed away in early 2017 and Beach Art subsequently closed its doors. The Scarborough Art Show this year would like to dedicate the People's Choice Award as the Rose Marshall Memorial Prize for the artwork chosen by the public as their favourite.

The theme for the 2016 competition was 'Animals'. We would like to congratulate all entrants, they are a talented group of children & we look forward to watching their art develop even further.
