Well it's over again. Once more the doors have closed on the art exhibition for another year. Life gets back to normality for we caretakers. Of the 308 paintings on display, the nine category winners will go to the sponsors of those categories and more than 50 of the other works have been sold.
This is up on the number of paintings sold last year and possibly a reflection on what I had always suspected - this year's overall standard was better than last year's.
Next year is the 20th anniversary of the Cossack Art Award and the Shire of Roebourne is looking to do something special for the occasion. If you've never been to Cossack, next year would be a good time to do it!
This week the art will be packed up and sent to the artists, sponsors or buyers as the case may be. Our resident artist has also left and has done well out of the time he spent here, selling a couple of paintings and being commissioned to do others. He has been very interactive with the Public and warmly received by all.
