Preparation for the 60th Camberwell Art Show started on Monday 23rd June with most paintings hung thanks to an all-club effort and volunteers. The next few days involved further preparations in readiness for the Gala Event on Friday evening of 27 June.


The Camberwell Grammar Strings ensemble was a welcome addition to the opening night.
A much-anticipated announcement of the night is the Best in Show prize of $10,000 which was awarded to David Taylor for his watercolour ‘Shades of Evening, Weymouth Harbour’ pictured below.

Wine and Cheese nights were held for sponsor Bendigo Bank and local Rotary clubs
Both ably led by club member Yvonne Wills.

The final stage at the end of the week was a call for a big effort for each of over 1,200 paintings be either handed to purchasers or returned to the artists, if unsold. The 60th year of the Camberwell Art Show was a great success. Rotary Camberwell thanks all those who contributed to its success, made possible with the assistance and commitment of club members, family, friends, sponsors, Swinburne University, local artists, judges, Volunteers, the city of Boroondara, and the local community.
