Decorative & Folk Art

Celebrating the Centenary of Canberra

The Decorative and Folk Art Sub-Section at the 2013 ActewAGL Royal Canberra Show offers a range of classes to enter for those who enjoy using their imagination and painting skills to create unique pieces!

What Classes can be entered in the Decorative & Folk Art Sub-Section? 

Open to all ages are the following challenges:

• A Christmas Piece – Decorative Art using any Christmas theme
• Any piece of decorative art depicting your interpretation of ‘Celebrating the Centenary of Canberra’
• Memories
• Class or Seminar piece
• A Useful Household Item
• Traditional (of any country or era including historical)
• Decorative Painting framed & under glass
• Birds
• Strokework
• Canvas Challenge – no theme this time but piece must fit in a 40cm square and can be flat or dimensional.

These really do challenge the lateral thought processes! To see the range of other classes you can enter, refer to the Crafts Expo Schedule.

To cater for all levels of experience and ability in decorative & folk art, there are, in addition to these challenges, competitive classes for non professional exhibitors (have less than 2 years experience), non professionals (with more than 2 years experience), professionals, seniors (65 years and older) and a section just for schools including Primary, High School and College.
