Club president Barry McDonald said there will be special judges to decide on the winners.
“There will be two judges of note, including Maxine McGee from Trio Art Gallery and Lawrence Finn,” he said.
“There will also be a film of the judges commentary on the winners on our Facebook.”
The art show will kick off with the Gala Friday Evening Opening Night on Friday 6 March, where all winners will be announced and celebrated with refreshments from Woodend Eves Country Women’s Association at St Ambrose Hall in Woodend
Mr McDonald said there will be plenty of fine wines and live entertainment on the night, and also the opportunity to preview and purchase artworks from all artists on show.
All artworks will be available for purchase over the three days.
The opening night will be a ticketed event, costing $25 per person, while entry over the weekend will be a gold coin entry.
The art show will open from 10am-5pm from Saturday 7 March and Sunday 8 March, and open from 10am-4pm on Monday 9 March at St Ambrose Hall in Woodend.
