Special thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the exhibition, and congratulations to all the exhibiting artists (even if you didn't sell), because without your creative contribution, there would be no exhibition! Over the years, our ABH exhibitions have given artists from Melbourne, and further afield, an opportunity to show off their works in a very special and historic setting at Burnley Harbour in RICHMOND and at a low entry cost to the artist.
