ART lovers are in for a treat this weekend with the art@stmatthews celebration and exhibition.

Regional artists Clare Leeuwin-Clark, Stephanie Jakovac, Mary-Jane Griggs, Gay Glover, Ken Raff, Craig Dent, Steve Anderson, Rick and Judy Pearce and Bronwyn Cossor will feature work in the exhibition aimed at raising money for rising damp and other church expenses.
Well known fashion designer and artist Prue Acton will open the exhibition on Friday night at a cocktail party.
