Pinjarra Alumina Refinery manager Jodie Giraudo said Alcoa was proud to support local artists to present and promote their creative talents through the gallery which is a vibrant local arts community.
'Alcoa's funding not only offers enriching art experiences for everyone to enjoy, it also provides educational opportunities and community engagement programs for the region,' Ms Giraudo said.

Lowry said painting enabled her to respond to the environment she was exploring, creating form, colour and interpreting the landscape in her own way.
Upcoming exhibitions include Proof Positive - Peel Printmakers group exhibition (Main Gallery) and The Gardener, the Midwife and the Sailor - Three painters (Foyer Gallery).
