*Isobel Robinson (9/07/1916 – 21/07/2010) was one of Seymour’s most notable community benefactors and it is through her philanthropy that the Seymour and District Art Society Inc offers the Isobel Robinson Memorial Award for Most Outstanding Artwork. ​

 The Art Beyond the Divide Exhibition and Competition is run by artists, for artists, with the focus on celebrating and promoting arts to the broader community. 
​
“We believe that art connects the most different of people in a way which nothing else can.
Art can lift even the darkest thoughts, and it can give pleasure.
The creation is the gift of and to the people.

Art Beyond the Divide has established itself as one of the premier art exhibitions in the region, with support from local businesses and community.  We encourage all visual artists to enter this friendly and relaxed show, where the aim is to celebrate all artistic expression.”

This show is part of the S&DAS Creative Communities program,
supported through FRRR grant funding for the purchase of equipment

Our Mission: Art Beyond the Divide is an opportunity for everyone to enjoy and celebrate art.
