Congratulations to Lynnell Belli, winner of the Most Popular Award at The Fitz’s Community Art Exhibition!

2026 COMMUNITY ART EXHIBITION AWARD WINNERS

What a wonderful opening night for our 2026 Community Art Exhibition, Seasons.

After everything our community experienced last year, Seasons felt like the perfect theme. It represents our farming seasons, fire and regeneration, new life, our incredible botanical seasons, and the many periods of change, growth, loss and renewal we all experience.

Every artist interpreted the theme through their own eyes, creating an exhibition filled with personal stories, local beauty and incredible talent.

Congratulations to our 2026 award winners:
