Vision for the Daylesford Art Show
In line with Rotary Values of Fostering Goodwill and Providing Beneficial Services, the art show is seen as a means to both achieve those aims and to support our other work.
​
The Art Show is a key fundraising event for the Rotary Club of Daylesford. All of the funds raised contribute to making a significant contribution to the improvement of the lives of people throughout the world and particularly in our community.
By offering an eclectic mix of paintings from local and national artists, our event showcases a wide variety of artistic expression. This can provide something to interest everybody, thus fostering appreciation of all types of art.
All of the above, whilst enjoying and possibly exploring the beautiful environs and atmosphere of the Daylesford and Hepburn Springs area.
​
We invite all art lovers, and would be art lovers, to join us for a unique and memorable experience in this, our 41st year!
Our Aims
Our Aims
All funds raised from the event will be utilised by us to support community initiatives. Every Melbourne Cup Weekend, The Daylesford Art Show, highlights the work of the many talented artists from throughout our region and beyond
Twenty five per cent of the sale price of each painting sold during the Daylesford Art Show supports Rotary projects in our community. Thank you to you all for your willing and welcome contribution.
