World War 1 in Pen and Brush Ends Successfully

Well it is over and done with, done and dusted as they say. The pictures are down and the reviews are in. The exhibition was successful and with ten pieces sold, artists are happy but more importantly calligraphy was promoted and brave men and women remembered.

World War 1 in Pen and Brush

Saturday the 18 April saw the official opening of our exhibition - Calligraphy Southscribes - World War 1 in Pen and Brush. The exhibition runs for fourteen days closing on 29 April, at Hazelhurst Community Gallery at Gymea.

The exhibition which is our tribute to Australians in World War 1 was officially opened by one of the local councillors and we also had an historical talk by a lady from the local Heritage Society on the history of the local Coo-ee Tree.
