The public is welcome to join the artists for a viewing and a glass of wine on this evening.
Masterworks is an exhibition of artworks created especially for this show to celebrate the unique creativity of each eight permanent hub artists who make up the Shop 7 Artspace group.
These are locals Pauline Balos, Pauline Harris, Helen Morris, Jenny Mein, Steve Stafford, Doris Hoyne, Shelley Davis and Peter Storey.
Included will be works created using techniques, materials and ideas which each artist has mastered over years of exploration, research, production, trial, despair and recovery - which is the creative process.
Each work has been created especially for this show. Large paintings, thrown ceramics, turned and sculptured wood, and sculpture combining textile and found metal are the vehicles for all this creativity.
Members of the group have extended their usual practise to investigate new techniques and forms with great success.
Wood sculpture and felted metal not attempted before have each been produced by Shelley Davis and Peter Storey while combinations of drawing, painting and printing have influenced Helen Morris and Doris Hoyne.
Other members of the group will reveal their secrets on October 30 at the opening.
The exhibition will close on November 26.
