The exhibition is part of a large-scale project coordinated by members of the Garden Club to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day for WW1, a historic event which occurred on November 11, 1918. The project has been themed around the Flanders Poppy, a plant with a deep red flower which grows wild on many of the battle fields of France and Belgium and is symbolic of the war as a representation of the blood that was spilled.
The exhibition includes a display of memorabilia, posters and photos from WW1, a large display of knitted and crochet poppies as well as poppy art.
The ‘Poppies for Remembrance’ exhibition ends this Sunday November 25. The Art Gallery is open Monday to Friday 10am - 4pm, Saturday 10am - 3pm and Sunday 10am -2pm, for further information contact Weddin Shire Arts & Tourism officer Claire McCann on 02 6343 2059.
