Juxtapose is a collaborative exhibition featuring the artwork of Luke Tyrrell and Liz Fitzgerald.\r\n\r\nWhile their styles are very different, both artists are heavily influenced by the coastal environments of Port Philip Bay and the Mornington Peninsula. The coast has been the background to their lives, creating their different perspectives and responses; the light and colour informs their work.\r\n\r\nAs Australians, most of us live along or near the coast, participating and engaging with it, spectators to its drama, moodiness, beauty and vulnerability. Juxtapose aims to celebrate the natural environment and our response to it as human beings.

Dates Open: 29-Sep-2018 Until 30-Oct-2018

The Somers Arts Fair—now in its 16th year—is held in the beautiful coastal village of Somers on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. It is Somers Primary School’s most important annual fundraising event. Our Arts Fairs were established in 2003 to highlight the wealth of talented artists and creative people in our community, to foster interest in various art forms and to bring the community together for a wonderful family-orientated day. Visitors to the Somers Arts Fair can view and be tempted by the amazing artwork in the art exhibition and the wonderful array of outdoor sculptures and totem poles that are displayed within the School grounds. Participants can whet their own creative appetite by participating in hands-on creative workshops led by talented artists, or simply relax and be entertained by a diverse line-up of talented local musicians. 

At 2:00 pm the main event of the day – the art auction – takes place at the Old School House featuring beautiful artwork donated by renowned artists. The totem poles are a distinctive feature of the auction, with many local artists creating these highly sought after artworks. 

Throughout the day there will be a variety of gourmet foods and homemade cakes on offer, local Mornington Peninsula wine, beer, great coffee and many country fair activities including children’s games, a wide range of craft market stalls and more.
