‘This year the organisers are especially seeking work from artists under 30 to join with the established artists of the region,’ said organiser and sculpture artist, Suvira McDonald.
‘In these trying times, the role of creativity and art is even more important than ever to maintain our strength and positivity. The Ingenuity event creates opportunities for the imagination to take wings and for the community to enjoy the flights! It’s another exciting event for the community and creatives to rise above our woes, come together and show our ingenious creations.’
