Recognised as one of the city’s signature events, The Grammar Art Show returns 22 - 24 March, and is set to attract thousands of people across the weekend.
The major fundraiser of the Toowoomba Grammar School P&F, the 2024 show contains an impressive lineup of artists from across the nation with work available in the physical gallery from Mar-22’s Opening Night Cocktail Party, across the weekend, and online from March 15.
With their 2023 Art Show seeing sales over $480,000, over 450 pieces of art sold to buyers from across Australia, and opening Night attracting thousands of guests both locally and nationally, 2024 will see over 800 pieces available from 225 sought-after artists - promising to be even more spectacular!
This year’s feature artists are Sarah Abbott & Monique Correy. Sarah, originally from Queensland who now lives in Fremantle, WA, is known for her stunning still life, landscape and Australian botanical acrylic paintings, full of soft, natural tones and use of light and shadow. For Monique, a well-loved Toowoomba alum currently in London (and who at times describes her art as “an organised mess), her pieces are a playful capture of life; inspired by everyday items and subjects, masterfully elevated into stunning and striking pieces of fine art.
The show launches Friday Night, 22 March, with a ticketed Cocktail Party, whilst the general exhibition is open Saturday, 23 March, 9.30am until 7.00pm, and then again on Sunday, 24 March from 9.30am until 4.00pm.
Across the weekend, guests can also enjoy a nuymber of events including High Teas, Art Amougst Friends as well as Sneak Peak events for those eager to get in early.
Door entry is just $5 (and free for 18’s and under). There is a café on-site for morning tea, and a bar and live music available from 3pm.
