Annual Paint In Convention 2008

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Our annual Convention was held at the beautiful Crown Plaze Resort, Pelican Waters on the Sunshine Coast.  Attendees came from as far away as New Zealand, Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and far north Queensland.  It was a great weekend and this year an art exhibition organised by Vicki Mullins, an award winning artist  from Brisbane, was held in conjunction with the Convention.  The very successful exhibition had 400 entries by 70 artists and offered an avenue for our members to display and sell their work.  A silent auction  was held  with donations from several famous painters with  proceeds  going to Kids With Cancer.   Keeping with the “Jungle Fever” theme a lot of effort went into  costumes.
