Artists attached to the long-running group this week opened an exhibition at The Depot Historic Vehicle and Memorabilia Collection in Hardinge St, Deniliquin.
The artists have taken over the museum’s function space - The Cadillac Room.
The works on display fit in with the theme of The Depot, with artists asked to curate an exhibition called ‘Journey Through Time’.
Edward River Councillor Linda Fawns, Mayor Peta Betts and CEO Phil Stone.
The exhibition is included as part of The Depot admission price, and is on display until Sunday, September 11.
Viewing times are 10am to 4pm daily.
ERAS president Louise Graham said it is hoped this is just the start of a collaboration between artists and businesses, which will see similar exhibitions in the future.
She said this kind of showcase provides regional artists of all levels with an opportunity to display their pieces, in a medium of their own choice.

Mrs Graham said included among the artists are some first time exhibitors.
“The idea that art touches your soul applies to both the viewer and the artist,” she said.
“So to put your soul on display for many takes courage and resilience”.
All artworks included in the exhibition are for sale.
