21ST WESTERN DISTRICT NATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION

The National Photographic Exhibition was the brainchild of the Western Districts Association of Camera Clubs. This is an Australian Photographic Society approved National Competition - there are 17 approved National Exhibitions held around Australia each year. These exhibitions are open to all photographers in Australia.

Photographs are judged by 3 judges where points are awarded and an acceptance level is determined, these images are then exhibitied. This year we have accepted 92 images in Monochrome Open, Colour Open, Nature, People and Photo Journalism. Slides and Projected Images are also shown. 195 works have been accepted.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the local residence to view a wide range of photographic images.

OPERATION ART

Operation Art is a project that encourages students from Kindergarten to Year 10 in all NSW schools to create artworks for children in hospital. It is an important statewide visual arts exhibition that focuses on creating a positive environment to aid the healing and recovery process of young patients.

Operation Art is a way of involving young people in the special work of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead – a total healing environment where design, decoration, facilities, gardens and art combine with the best possible medical care to help comfort and heal young patients.

Operation Art is a partnership between the New South Wales Department of Education and Training, The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, the Nelson Meers Foundation and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
