Easter Art Show Results

The ASPI Easter Art Show has been a resounding success.  This year it was held at the Phillip Island Ramada Resort and this proved to be a delightful venue with excellent facilities, helpful staff, beautiful gardens and plenty of parking.  It also gave us access to a new audience and sales of works reached a new high, with 20% of the exhibits sold.  The exhibition continues online until 6^th June with the opportunity for more sales to follow.
