Guest Artist Demonstrations
Guest artist demonstrations are held on Saturday afternoons at the Guild studio once a month (usually the first Saturday with one or two exceptions) except in January & December. Members and the general public are welcome, and can be sure of an engrossing demonstration by a professional artist at work. The entry fee of $10.00 for members and $12 for non-members includes a delicious afternoon tea. Demonstrations run from 1:30pm to approx. 3:30pm.

(MGoA Members Artist of the Month theme - Australian landscape in any medium)
Carole Foster was raised in Wangaratta and demonstrated a flair for drawing and painting from an early age. With 30 years of experience as an artist, she has traveled extensively, living in New Zealand, Norfolk Island, England, Finland, Holland, and Germany. Carole gained first-hand experience of Australia’s arid zones during her many 4-wheel drive excursions and by hiring small planes for outback fly-overs. She does not limit herself to landscapes but draws inspiration from the Australian outback.
Over the past 32 years, Carole has had more than 29 solo exhibitions.
She now lives in Dromana, where she currently teaches and works as a part-time curator and artistic director at a large gallery.

"Artist of the Month" Competition
This is also an opportunity for members to enter their art work each month for judging by the visiting guest artist demonstrator. See “Artist of the Year Award”. Members are encouraged to participate in the Competition by exhibiting their own art work in the Guild studio on demonstration days. The subject should relate to the theme specified for that month’s demonstration, listed above and in the Guild’s bi-monthly newsletter, Palette News. The medium, however is open, in order to encourage maximum member participation. Entries are judged by the guest artist, and points awarded that ultimately determine the prize winner of the Guild’s Artist of the Year competition.
