The show was a blockbuster attracting a large number of entries and a huge attendance on the day. City of Whitehorse Cr Bill Bennett opened the show and the Mayor Cr Andrew Davenport spoke about the importance of art to the life of our city, and about the development of the new arts hub being built.

There were two sections: 1. Members'own original artwork; and 2. a copy of a master artist's work.
Our main judge for the show was well known and respected artist Barbara McManus with assistance from WAA Vice-President Alan Close.
