Easter art show a sensory feast
by Mornington Peninsula Magazine

The Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron Easter Art Show has been a highlight on the community calendar since it began in 2010, and this year’s 14th show from March 29-April 1 is shaping up to be another beauty. 

A fundraiser for the BYS rescue boat fleet, which is used to support junior, community and disabled sailing programs, the show’s feature artists this year are Janis Taber and Suzanne Oppy, who will join new and returning artists including indoor and outdoor sculptors.

Janis began painting in acrylics 12 years ago and discovered inks with their vibrancy and endless possibilities, while Suzanne emerged as a photographer during the 2021 COVID lockdowns. Prizes will be awarded in several categories, including People’s Choice.

The show opens at 6.30pm on Friday, March 29, and tickets are available at www.trybooking.com/COCNA. It continues on Saturday and Sunday, March 30-31, from 10am-5pm, and Monday, April 1, from 10am-2pm. Tickets are $5 at the door. Visitors are welcome to stay on at the yacht club and enjoy the BYS bistro and deck with stunning views of the bay, or just relax on the lawn or beach.

Supported by Belle Property, Blairgowrie, the show is at 2900 Point Nepean Rd, Blairgowrie.  For more information, go to Facebook @byseasterartshow or Instagram @bys.easterartshow
