The Judge for the 2025 show was Paul McDonald Smith, OAM.
The judging has been completed for the 2025 show and his comments are below.
With a background in architecture, It Hao Pheh combines earthy tones with great imagination and creativity in his rendering of buildings and conversely, nature . We welcome him as one of our Guest Artists.
Pierina Sannia is one of our Guest Artists for the 2025 show. Her vivid, detailed and life-like pastel works are a joy to behold.
The 2025 Show is exhibiting fabulous works from some very talented artisans.
We have the superb and sophisticated ceramics of John Stroomer and beautiful, organic and earthy ceramic tiles, pots and bowls from Marta Gola, who has entered some artwork as well.
Then for something completely different, the talented Jean Sheridan has showcased her quirky and delightful lamps made from old dress patterns - they are whimiscal and dreamy.
Last, but not least, we have the fun nautical sculptures and pieces from Deb Jacob, sourced from recycled bits of driftwood and sail materials.
We have a fabulous week of demonstration artists showing their talents at our show...

The Mornington Art Show has grown to be one of the most prestigious art shows in Victoria.
Supporting a diverse range of local artists (over 300), it also attracts talent from interstate. Artisanal work is also exhibited.
Carefully curated, it has a reputation for quality exhibitions and is a much-anticipated community event.
We are very grateful to our volunteers for their support, in so many ways.
Thank you also, to our generous sponsors. A true community effort.
We are well underway for our plans for the 2025 show, our 53rd!
