Newbridge village’s Spring into Art weekend kicked off on Friday night with the art show opened by Blayney Mayor Cllr Scott Ferguson. A throng of art lovers browsed the exhibition and enjoyed refreshments and canapes served by Blayney High School students.
The Back Creek Art Show winners were:
Open Photography - Andrew Macarthur, Rylstone Glade
Open Art - Stephanie Field, White Bowl with Reflections
Eutick Memorial Still Life - Karen James, Pumpkins
Newbridge - David Lake, AppleBox Newbridge
People’s Choice – David Young, Mallee Storm
Saturday began brightly with artisan market stalls, live music and the art show at the Showgrounds. Swift Coffee ByM and the team from Rotary fuelled visitors to continue down into the village, popping into Stringybark Crafts & Collectibles, the Olde Bridge Gallery and the Gladstone Hotel.
Pale Ailments played at The Gladstone on Saturday night and again on Sunday at lunchtime. A free shuttle bus circulated around the four open gardens, which were busy throughout the weekend. Not even a few sharp downpours on Sunday dampened the enthusiasm, and the pleasure with which villagers and visitors came out to reconnect and make new friends was heartwarming.
