For a fourth year running, the Cobram Lions Club is holding its popular show.
Cobram Lions Club past president Janet Austin said the art show opened up a whole new world to budding young artists.
“The first art show was put on to give them a forum to show their artwork,” Mrs Austin said.
“The last three have gone to national, the last two years have gone to international; they’ve actually gone to America,” Mrs Austin said.
As in other years, the art show, to be held at Killara House on the weekend of August 16 and 17, will have two age categories: 10 to 14 years and open 15-plus.
