AN impromptu painting competition and free jazz music will entertain people’s senses at this weekend’s Painting on the Hill event in Dandenong.
Hosted at Langhorne Street’s Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens, the Sunday event will kick off at noon, with artists registering on the day.
Artists are encouraged to draw on their Heritage Hill surroundings for inspiration, and the winner will receive $1000 cash courtesy of the Dandenong Club.
