The Hills Hub in Emerald came alive on Friday evening, 4 April, for the grand opening of the Hills Photographic Society’s annual Photography Exhibition. Around 60 community members gathered to admire more than 50 striking and diverse images, created by local photographers and students from Emerald and Monbulk Secondary Colleges.
Now a highlight of the Emerald calendar, the exhibition runs alongside the vibrant PAVE Festival and continues to grow each year in both scale and popularity.
The event was officially opened by Walter Berger, representing the Dandenong Ranges Community Bank, whose support helped bring the exhibition to life. Other generous sponsors included Ranges First National Real Estate, DigitalWorks in Cockatoo, Hills Physiotherapy, and Emerald Village Meats.
Thanks to a grant from Cardinia Council, visitors also enjoyed a free public portraiture workshop on Saturday, 12 April.
The exhibition is open daily from 10am at the Hills Hub until 2 May, and entry is free.
