In pictures: Local artists supported by Albemarle

More than 40 local artisans showcased their hand-crafted works at the Stirling Street Arts Centre at the Arts in the Garden festival. Funded through Albemarle’s community grants program, the event saw families and those with artistic flair flock to the centre to view and buy one of a kind pieces in ceramics, paintings, textiles, wood work, jewellery and more. Albemarle Australia country manager Beverley East said funding for events like these was of high importance. “Albemarle believes in the importance of strong communities and we’re excited to be a part of this celebration of art, creativity and community,” she said. SSAC events and exhibitions coordinator Elle Dixon said highlighting Bunbury’s artistic community was a main focus. “Art in the Garden encapsulates the lively spirit of Bunbury’s artistic community,” she said. “These exciting projects blend nature and creative innovation and capture the essence of our commitment to both art and sustainability.”
