GALLERY SUNSHINE EVERYWHERE TURNED TEN IN 2017

Yes, we were 10 in 2017 and now we’re 15 and drawing Gallery Sunshine Everywhere to an end after all these wonderful years.

Dozens of schools and hundreds of students have been involved in the many exhibitions and other activities, Gallery Sunshine Everywhere has conducted since it was established in 2007. Most of the exhibitions have been held at the Granary Cafe in Sunshine and will be again this year. The exhibitions mainly feature the work of pre-primary, primary and secondary school students and sometimes , local artists as well.

EXHIBITIONS
Gallery Sunshine Everywhere coordinates at least ten curated exhibitions each year in Sunshine in Melbourne’s west.
There are no costs to families or schools. Grants and Sponsorship are always welcome to support each of the exhibitions. We collect the work, frame and hang it on the walls at the Granary Cafe, organise opening events there for students, families and friends and return the work at the end of each exhibition.
Gallery Sunshine Everywhere liaises with all schools that register for each exhibition and selects work for exhibition and for the on line Art Gallery on this web site:
All work is photographed and added to the on line Art Gallery on this site.
The work selected for exhibition is framed or otherwise prepared for exhibition
Each exhibition period of three or four weeks commences with an official opening
An identifying card listing the artist’s first name, year level and school is displayed with each art work
Where enquiries are made about purchasing (framed or unframed) any work on display,  Gallery Sunshine Everywhere follows up with schools, families and potential buyers.
