GOPIO-GC was recently invited to organise an art exhibition at the Robina Community Art Gallery (opposite the Robina Community Library) to coincide with the 75th Indian Republic Day celebrations. The GOPIO-GC committee requested the community to lend their artwork for such an exhibition. The response from the community was overwhelming and the organisation was able to launch the exhibition on the 23rd of Jan 2024.
The exhibition was formally opened by Anthony Shorten who is a strong advocate for multiculturalism. Numerous artists and community representatives attended the launch.
The variety of art on display included oil paintings, water colours, cross-stitch needlework, Madhubani paintings, Lippan art. This showcases the sheer diversity of Indian art.
“GOPIO-GC thanks Asha Jose, Kamiya Talati, Lakshmi Narasimhan, Megha Dasog, Neelam Maheshwari, Nidhi Patel, Seema Chauhan, Smitha Mandre Jackson, Sudha Manian and Varsha Badhe for their contributions,” said a statement by GOPIO-GC.
