2026 Exhibition
Celebrating 79 years of DAG
Our 79th Exhibition was held in October 2026
Over the course of the weekend we welcomed close to 450 visitors, exhibited 230 works across the artistic spectrum including oils, acrylic, mixed media, watercolour, photography and ceramics by 46 different artists.
A special thank you to our Guest Judge, Colin Simpson (not Wilson as incorrectly stated in the Catalogue) who stepped in at the last minute to be our Guest Speaker as well. He chose 1 photograph and 3 water colours and the Committee Chair chose an additional prize winner.
Our chosen school this year was Calday Grange Grammer School and the 10 studeents they chose to submits works were truly amazing and congratulations to the three prize winners.
