Patrons and friends of the community art gallery joined artisans for the event, which offered a first look at a wide variety of new pieces.

Along with the popular paintings and drawings, the gallery holds textiles, ceramics, woodwork, jewellery and stone, among others.

Organisers thanked all who attended in a brief speech, making particular note of the artisans, who each donated $10 to make the night possible.

The gallery also reported several sales throughout the event.
