Scarborough Art Show Opening Night

Scarborough Art Show Opening night is the perfect opportunity to view the exhibition and have the very first pick of the artworks, Meet the artists and enjoy a range of delicious canapés, wine, beer and live music, all while raising funds for Scarborough public school. 

Now in its 27th year, the Scarborough Art Show has developed a reputation for its high quality, breadth, local atmosphere and affordability. Renowned painters, printmakers, photographers and sculptors join with jewelers, ceramicists and craftspeople, from Sydney, the South Coast and the Southern Highlands to create a vibrant and varied exhibition.

Opening night is a meeting of art, music and community, culture. This year's event will feature local legends and resident house band at Seekers Brewing Sunday Service, the Blue Purrs.

The Blue Purrs came together through a shared love of blues and soul. Experimental by nature, the 4-piece have evolved into a cooking combo, driven by a classic stax-style rhythm section, tasty slide guitar licks and the searing vocals of south coast legend Glenn Whitehall. The Blue Purrs draw from a deep well of raw Chicago blues, infused with classic soul and modern swing to create a sound that keeps the crowd coming back for more.

Tickets are strictly limited and can only be purchased online through Humanitix. Due to the popularity of this event, tickets will not be for sale at the door.
