LOCAL Euroa artist Bruce Hargrave will be opening his latest watercolour exhibition, "Beauty and Beyond", at the BackArt Gallery in Violet Town at the start of next month.

The exhibition, which showcases a series of watercolour paintings of much–loved local locations and icons, will be opened on Sunday, March 5 at the Cowslip Street gallery.

10 per cent of proceeds from sales of the art work will be donated to the Violet Town Primary School Arts Award fund, providing a fantastic opportunity for young students to progress their artistic endeavours.

Mr Hargrave's exhibitions have often provided generous windfalls for local organisations, with the Euroa Citizens Band receiving $2000 from his previous exhibition titled, "Euroa in Watercolour".

Stacey Willaton, the new principal of the local school, will be opening the exhibition which will remain open on Wednesdays to Saturdays from 10am–2pm until Saturday, March 25.

The opening will begin at 2:30 on Sunday, March 5.
