The Blackall Range Visual Artists (BRVA), a group founded in 2003 in Mapleton, Australia, is holding a group exhibition at Montville's St Mary's Hall from June 27 to July 2. The exhibition features six artists displaying works across various mediums and techniques, with all commissions donated to maintain the historic hall.
This matters because it highlights the vibrant grassroots art community of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, where local artists collaborate, share techniques through workshops, and sustain a passion for the arts. The exhibition supports both artistic expression and the preservation of a local heritage venue, demonstrating how community art groups contribute to cultural vitality and historic preservation.
