Rotary Eltham first presented a ‘Renaissance’ of the Art History of the Nillumbik in September 2022. The exhibition comprised over 460 2D works by 187 artists. Artists associated with foundations connected to the early forefathers of Nillumbik Art proudly brought together an eclectic display of modern 2D techniques and talent. Over 500 visitors a day viewed the iconic show over three days public viewing. Judging over six categories with attractive prize monies brought out the best of the best.
