Wellington Arts’ recent art exhibition was a huge success, with the “Threatened Species” theme attracting a healthy 89 entries from not only Wellington but across the region from Dubbo to Orange to Rylstone and even as far away as Western Australia. People flocked to the opening and enjoyed not only the incredible and diverse art on display, but a glass of wine and a delicious array of finger foods. The exhibition, open to all ages and covering three categories (12 and under, 12-18 years and adults) was judged by David Coote from the Office of Environment and Heritage based in Dubbo. The successful exhibitors were:

- 1st - Bradley Clenton for his work Westside Numbats
