Attendees will have the opportunity to admire, and express interest in purchasing the variety of artworks. Bowral Art Gallery publicity officer Leanne Haddadi said there will be an array of techniques on showcase. "There is abstract, beautiful prints, superrealism," she said. "I love the variety. I am blown away by how people see the world." Ms Haddadi added many of the artists were locals who depicted the Southern Highlands.
