The exhibition showcases a diverse array of artworks from 21 of the 27 original Studio Art Trail participants, featuring paintings, sculptures, fabric work, textiles, woodwork, and more.
It was the first opportunity for the group to meet, mingle, and discuss the success of the Campaspe Studio Art Trail, which occurred in February.
A supportive crowd of about 100 attended, including proud friends and family of the artists, along with five Campaspe Shire councillors.
Campaspe Shire Mayor Daniel Mackrell helped to officially open the exhibition.

Organiser of the Campaspe Studio Arts Trail, Dey Alexander officially opened the exhibition with help from Campaspe Mayor Cr Daniel Mackrell.
Ms Alexander said she wanted the event to bring Campaspe’s creativity out into the open.
She said that it also provided an opportunity for those who missed the original trial to see the works they may have missed.
Cr Mackrell thanked the artists for their effort, and said events like this showcase the diversity of talent that is present across the shire.
Following the success of this year’s Campaspe Studio Arts Trail, a second iteration will be held, on the weekend of May 2 to 3, 2026.
Artists interested in taking part in next year’s studio trail could email her at info@castrail.art
All Together Now exhibition will run until October 11 at the Kyabram Town Hall Art Gallery.
Anne Trickey, Jenny Turner and Rowan William were there in support of their artist relatives, Kerry William and Ellen Lee.
