Open Sessions will be back on offer from June, at the Griffith Regional Art Gallery, following a successful run in March.

Griffith Regional Art Gallery Coordinator, Ray Wholohan said, "Following the success of our first Open Sessions, we are excited to continue to present the community once again a varied collection of programs that will focus on some of the core art disciplines."

March's sessions included a range of workshops delivered by local artists in a variety of fields - from digital art with Rosie Taprell to life drawing with Rhonda Miranda and Sculpture with Noel Hicks.

All were booked out quickly, from a range of regular gallery visitors to some welcome newcomers.

"We received some wonderful feedback from participants, some being regular Gallery attendees and some new faces too. We're looking forward to delivering many more engaging Open Sessions," Mr Wholohan said.

Upcoming workshops will include a return from Ms Miranda to offer a four-week class on portraiture and oil painting, as well as a few talks from within the gallery's staff.
