We had a wonderful Epping Arts Fair on Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd April, celebrating the arts in our community. The art was of high quality with almost 1,000 visitors coming to view the artworks and artisan stalls.

Sunny Night was the winner of the First Highly Commended for 'Golden Sunset' (mixed media) sponsored by the Bendigo Community Bank Epping. The winner of the Second Highly Commended was
Martin Watson, for 'Isolated Waratah 1' (pastel collage) sponsored by the Epping Eastwood Lions Club. The People's Choice Award of $500 was awarded to Melony Smirniotis, for 'The Great North Walk' (dye sublimation print).
